Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"This duo was idealized by Bernardo Tinoco (saxophones, flute and duduk) and Tom Maciel (piano, synths and drum machine) focusing on the collective composition of original repertoire for their instruments.

Not wanting to restrict the music to an exclusively acoustic context, the duo's proposal also includes the exploration of electronic sonorities through the use of synthesizers and audio processing as the basis of the creative process. The will to explore an aesthetic that could balance composition, improvisation and electronics emerged during their joint academic path. Having met in Lisbon, the two musicians developed since 2016 a strong academic and professional relationship, discovering affinities through various musical projects.

Faced with the need to adapt to smaller formations, as a result of the various constrains caused by the pandemic COVID-19, the duo found their way through the creation of this project. Influenced by numerous music artists of the new generation and being aware of a vast discography for saxophone and piano released over the past decades, Tinoco and Maciel explore their skills as multi-instrumentalists in search for their own voice.

The debut album "NoMad Nenúfar", released by Clean Feed, also features the Portuguese jazz drummer João Pereira, performing on three tracks."-Clean Feed
