“Espectros” reveals new music for piano, recitative, and electronics. Bringing two words into play, the title invites the listener to discover resonances and musical spectrums across its echoes, timbres, and listener’s memories. The present release introduces an anthology of contemporary Portuguese music, with selected works by Solange Azevedo, Inés Badalo, Hugo Vasco Reis, Luís Antunes Pena, and Bruno Gabirro.
Echoes or resonances may or not be explicit in the recording. While “Metamorphoses and Resonances”, “mar”, “sobre a brevidade” and “per piano” expose an inevitable relation with a wide and resonant space, “A Torre da Barbela”, “Libro de Arena”, “K.U.L.T” and “Ace2” promotes pleasing sonorities and textures, being its voices, electronics, field recordings or expanded techniques for piano, embracing new spectra in combination of musical identities.
