Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

Intense as the Sea:



I kept deep the nights where innocence lurks


The imprint of your feet

The side of the trees

The hidden gates

The night rhythm


The murmurs came from far away

From the corners that supported the world


When the stars accepted the day

And the impossible of the clouds was the desired shape



Ernesto Rodrigues, 2021


Artist Biographies

"He has been playing the violin for 30 years and in that time has played all genres of music ranging from contemporary music to free jazz and improvised music, live and in the studio.

His main interest shifted towards contemporary improvised and composed music.

The relationship with his instruments is focused in sonic and textural elements.

Electronic music was an early influence on his approach to violin playing, which challenges traditional romantic concepts of the violin/viola through use of preparations and micro tuning.

Active in different settings on the Portuguese scene for free improvised music, both as a collaborator and in leading his own groups.

Music for Dance, Cinema, Video and Performance.

Has created the record label Creative Sources Recordings in 1999, which mainly concentrates on releasing experimental and electro-acoustic music."
