Recorded live during the CreativeFest XII at O'Culto da Ajuda, in Lisbon, Portugal, on November 10th, 2018, by Miguel Azguime.
"[...] We start the review with the oldest recording, recorded in the past 2018, at the twelfth edition of the CreativeFest festival in Lisbon, in the well-known place of O'Culto da Ajuda. On stage, a quintet composed of: Mia Dyberg - alto saxophone, Ernesto Rodrigues - viola, Guilherme Rodrigues - cello, Johan Moir - double bass and José Oliveira - percussion. One, dramatically short improvisation - less than 27 minutes.
The idea of Rodrigues' free improvisations rests on two foundations. The narrative is made up mainly of small, sometimes broken phrases, and all participants of the performance listen very carefully, in accordance with the best deep listening patterns. The beginning of the concert, of course, meets all these standards, although from the very beginning the improvisation seems to be carried out with great verve, there are a lot of sounds in it, and the collective work of the saxophone, double bass and percussion does not allow improvisation to escape into intimate suspensions too often. The dynamics of the exhibition are derived directly from very active percussion. You can sometimes feel the scent of sensual free jazz in the blows of the brass. Also a lot of good happens with the strings of the double bass, which also often uses techniquepizzicato and arco. Artists conscientiously do their homework in the mechanics of friction and scrubbing, and they eagerly escape into the dark atmosphere of post-grave sighs and melancholy. They get the latter case after 6 minutes - a beautiful fear, equally sensual trembling, nervously suppressed compulsiveness of the moment.
The narrative twists with a juicy stream of sounds without any special twists. We have a phase of an exceptionally charming free chamber for cello and viola, with the background noise of post-jazz instruments. Soon after, more energetic surges lead the musicians to a spectacular downward slope - this is free chamber music, which seems to have no genre limitations. Shortly before the end of 20 minutes, the narrative forms into a spectacular drone that descends in a tumult of polished strings. Another flower for the sheepskin coat includes saxophone chants and a few more swaying cello phrases. There's still a lot going on in the percussion area. The very ending of the concert can be considered a slight escalation of expression."-Spontaneous Music Tribune, translated by Google

As an improvisor, his aproach to percussion is similar to Paul Lovens, Roger Turner, Lê Quan Ninh and Paul Lytton. He prefers a non conventional "set", where he uses instruments and objects as raw materials to create an improvised language rich in terms of timbre and textures. To this he adds sometimes inside piano manipulations and prepared guitar, in the same way as John Cage: the objects are placed on the strings or in between them in real-time performance, and not according to a previous plan. He belonged to Sei Miguel collective between 1989 and 1996, played with Carlos Bechegas and Pedro Roxo and has a regular activity with Ernesto Rodrigues." ^ Hide Bio for Jose Oliveira
