"Un Seul Regard Le Chant Petri De Beaute Un Mot Vert is another rather subtle and wave-like album, using a process approach (presumably) to illuminate some potentially fragile relations. (And in this, it does follow the "wave" trend noted around recent albums like Setubal and Lluvia in the prior entry....) So Un Seul Regard Le Chant Petri De Beaute Un Mot Vert involves guitarists (to continue a theme) Miguel Almeida (on acoustic, e.g. from Spiegel II as also just discussed this month, or e.g. Stratus) and Andre Lanca (who is new to me, on electric) joining Rodrigues, Bernardo Alvares (double bass, with which he appears on long-time quartet favorite New Dynamics, as coincidentally just mentioned...) and Felice Furioso (percussion, noted here in October 2018 as part of the quartet with voice 4! on Factorial). And it begins with what sound like whistling horns, into a quiet twittering of building continuity and flow, a slow shimmering wave of expansion and contraction, with percussion almost seeming to mark the depth of dark running water... at times yielding almost a New Age vibe joined to a subtle industrial rattle. It's a relatively large ensemble, but some performers are often acting to accent a more general, otherwise murky wave - while exploring various sorts of continuity, propulsion and cresting. (Another sort of interrogation that such a performance suggests to me is between sustained tones and more fractured or percussive material: Such a basic contrast is already found in Cage, but sustained tones and different kinds of pulsation appear to be gaining a new currency of late.... One might then posit a smoothness-rupture dual particularly around notions of process.)"-Todd McComb's Jazz Thoughts

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."

"My name is Bernardo Alvares, I was born in 1989 and I live in Lisboa. I originally came to Lisboa to study. First I took an BSc in African Studies in FLUL (University of Lisbon) while studying jazz doublebass in Hot Clube de Lisboa. Soon I grew tired of conventional jazz and became part of the free improvisation movement. Later I continued my studies with an MSc in Urban Studies in ISCTE-IUL (Lisbon University Institute) and FCSH-UNL (New University of Lisbon) and wrote a master thesis about the relations between precariousness and counterculture in the contemporary city. As a musician I've been developing mostly doublebass and electric bass in languages such as free improvisation, free jazz, rock, noise, drone and hip-hop. I have allready worked with musicians such as Alan Courtis, Carla Bozulich, Helena Espvall, Paulo Raposo, Ernesto Rodrigues, Maresuke Okamoto, McCloud Zicmuse, Roland Ramanan, Mário Babrem, LBC Soldjah, Hezbó MC or Ondness. My most consistent musical projects includes Zarabatana, Alforjs and Luís Severo but I was also been a part of the doublebasses drone duo ABBA, the free-punk band dUASsEMIcOLCHEIASiNVERTIDAS, the Cornelius Cardew inspired anarchist ensemble Tratado de Cardew, the free-improv trio Chaparreiro/Álvares/Morão, the spokenword band Tapete, the William Burroughs inspired noisy duo S for Seward and several other ad-hoc formations. I've also worked with other artists such as Flora Detraz and Elizabete Francisca (dance/performance), Stéphane Blumi (video), Nacho Durán (multimedia), Paula Alonso (actress), Manuel Badás (dancer), Yaw Tembe (plastic arts), or Cristina Delius (tapdancing). I've also made sound instalations for the exhibitions "Partida, Largada, Fugida" from Mariana Marques and "Zones d'habilité" from Aude Barrio and Barbara Meuli. I've gave workshops of improvised music in Portugal, in CACAU (São Tomé, São Tomé e Príncipe) and Paraiso LC (Oviedo, Spain). I've been working with Alan Courtis on a music project with Out.Ra and Associação Nós, an association in Barreiro, Portugal, for the inclusion of people with mental diversity. This group debuted live in March 2016 and continued in 2017, although we're looking for a way to fund it. I curated Leitmotiv, which was a music and publications monthly cycle where musicians interpret graphic scores made purposely for this cycle hosted by Zaratan Gallery. Music related, I'm also a DJ, a producer and occasional sound technician. I've also made regular music critics to jazz.pt magazine between 2013 and 2015 and was part of the associations Pantalassa and Associação Terapêutica do Ruído."
