The Portuguese large improvising ensemble String Theory is heard live during the CreativeFest#12, at O'Culto da Ajuda, in Lisbon, Portugal in 2018, in an extended improvisation of incredible layering and restraint, making an amalgam of mostly acoustic string sources sound electronic and hallucinatory, an incredible achievement in string sonics. Aside from resonator guitar and eBow (applied to a zither), the group merges the sounds of viola, violin, classical guitar, cello (4 of them), 12 string acoustic guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, and four double basses. The subtle interplay, slowly evolving and weaving in intensity is extremely detailed, rewarding the attentive listener with various stratum of sound. Ernesto Rodrigues continues to develop some of the most fascinating large ensemble work in a unique approach to improvisation, and String Theory is among his finest organizations.
