On the one hand, the computer music world, with its meditative textures, harsh noisy sounds, blips, and experiments with custom-built software with SuperCollider. On the other hand, a phonographic activity, in which he goes out with a microphone trying to capture the incredible aural diversity of our world and the voices and stories that hide in each person. Most of André’s work has in common the evasion of visual elements, an acousmatic sound that aims to subvert the dominance of the vision over the other senses. In recent years he has nourished a growing interest for the radiophonic medium, which has become a fruitful source of inspiration and for which he has been creating pieces for 3 years.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "> <br>A significant part of his practice has been developed through collaborations with other artists, such as the ongoing improvised music duo with Martin Aaserud; The performances Entre¡ and A Verdade da Alface and the current project of sound portraits of mothers and their babies with Laura Bañuelos; the sound design for the installations of Maria dos Milagres and Miguel Rafael, and the dance choreographies of Ainhoa Vidal, José Vidal and Sofia Neuparth.</div><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>microsound-announce mailing list<br><a href="mailto:microsound-announce@microsound.org">microsound-announce@microsound.org</a><br><a href="http://or8.net/mailman/listinfo/microsound-announce">http://or8.net/mailman/listinfo/microsound-announce</a><br></div></span></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
