About Me

____________________________________________________________ __

Currently I’m developing iNTeRLúNio, a project with the purpose of bringing to life some of my compositions, with their, the musicians, intervention and improvisation, where I think I will get closer to some of the ideas I want to explore. There’s another project waiting, with a different aproach...
I have participated in Wishful Thinking (CD on Clean Feed), Mechanics and 3-Bass-Hit. In my early years I participated in Pablibut Sone, selected project for Biennial of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean, Turim 97.
I’ve composed music for theatre, dance, performance and video. I’m a member of Granular, a portuguese association of musicians in the area of improvisation and ’experimental’ art.

------------------------------------------

Empenho-me actualmente no iNTeRLúNio, grupo formado com o intuito de levar à prática composições minhas, com a intervenção e improvisação deles, onde penso me aproximar de uma definição mais clara de algumas das ideias que quero explorar. Tenho ainda outro projecto, à espera de sair do pousio a que o remeti, para uma diferente abordagem...
Participei nos projectos Wishful Thinking (CD pela Clean Feed), Mechanics e 3-Bass-Hit. Integrei os Pablibut Sone, projecto seleccionado para o concurso Jovens Criadores 96 / Bienal de Jovens Criadores da Europa e Mediterrâneo, Turim 97.
Fiz música para teatro, dança, performance e vídeo. Colaborei com o depois da uma…teatro?, da dupla Pedro Carraca e Rui Guilherme Lopes, Artistas Unidos, com o AKA teatro, projecto de Rui G. Lopes, com o Capicua - Grupo de Teatro do ISEG, com a associação Mandrágora, dirigida por Almeida e Sousa, e com a coreógrafa Filipa Francisco, entre outros projectos de natureza pontual. Faço parte da Granular, associação de músicos nas áreas da improvisação e arte de caráter ’experimental’.
