Terceiro Solstício
Luz gélida(d)o montediluída em flor(es).
Delicate guitars, ethereal voices, tracks woven from sighs and layers upon layers, like secrets and small nocturnal rituals under the cold glow of the moon. Beautiful, evocative, and quietly transformative. The artist, cláudia simões, also known as alga, dedicates this work to winter: a season of introspection, stillness, and subtle magic. Let's enjoy the offering.
July, 2024, Montemor-o-Novo
Last year, Aires, Sã Bernardo, Sal Grosso & Vile Karimi inhabited the Blackbox at O Espaço do Tempo from July 3–6, part of CCA's curatorial project Jejum. Over four days, these artists and collaborators converge, creating shifting constellations of sound through solo, duo, trio, and quartet encounters. Each evening invites the public into the intimacy of open rehearsals, where structure dissolves into possibility, a daily ritual of improvisation where boundaries blur, and music becomes a living …
Death Notes
Together, Samuel Kerridge and Maxim 'Panda' Barron conspire against the living with their electrifying new project, Death Disco. Drawing deeply from the rebellious roots of punk and the DIY ethos, the duo has crafted with their debut album ‘Death Notes’, a sense of urgency and authenticity. Samuel’s fierce vocal work and electronics gives the album an emotional depth that goes beyond its aggressive nature, while Maxim’s pulsating rhythms keeps cutting through the atmosphere with skin-stripping p…

After the success of Tutto Bene, enjoy Tutto Bene, Volume II! I've culled my favorite new accordion-driven hits into one fabulous sonic adventure to feed your hungry ears!
Some of the songs were produced solo, one is a live recording from my performance with the Jovino Santos Neto Quinteto at the Triple Door, others are from the sessions that Ama Trio (AD/Madeleine Sosin/Abel Rocha) recorded at Gravel Voice sessions with Scott Colburn, as well as a rich collaboration with fellow-Seattle Composer…
The Schmetterling Variations
Since 1983 Dan Burke and his conspirators have dug through almost every facet of the avant sound plane, from early industrial pop deconstruction to blindingly minimal sound art to densely surreal found-sound collage, each unique approach bending and reconstituting the expectations and possibilities of each realm.
Plowing through layered field recordings, deeply rumbling tones, and eerie electroacoustic sounds with seamless transitions between cut-and-paste collages and manufactured drones, it’…
Torn Remnants Of Nobility
Robert Revell is a musician from Sydney, Australia currently living in Los Angeles. When he found the SPK record “Information Overload Unit” at the age of 10 he instantly connected with it. For the first time in his short life he had found music that sounded like what was inside his mind. He asked his Father (Graeme Revell) about it and learned that it was his own record. Everything made sense.
Robert has played in bands over the years as a guitarist, vocalist, bassist and drummer in styles ra…
Frank Gratkowski's In Cahoots Feat. Ingrid Laubrock

“Beneath the subatomic…
