Rafael Toral
Rafael Toral is a Portuguese musician and sound engineer born in Lisbon in 1967, performing live since 1984. Self-taught and focused on exploration rather than conventional study, his work centers on ambient music's possibilities, electric guitar as sound generator, and high-risk improvisation using unpredictable systems. He explores sound phenomena like resonance and difference tones, developing a unique blend of ambient, rock, chance and improvisation that has established him as a distinctive voice in experimental music.
