Pedro Sousa Drawing @ Jazz.pt

Pedro Sousa's saxophone player t-shirt made the leitmotiv for this drawing. He was playing with Hernani Faustino, Bruno Silva and Gabriel Ferrandini.

The playing and Pedro's t-shirt made me ramble. I went on a little journey where I saw aztec temples, dust, a sun set. It was about bricks and thin lines, layer upon layer. Pedro built in the landscape. It was a ride.

About MUZZ

Ricardo Jacinto

Made this drawing live while Ricardo Jacinto was playing at ZDB with Pink Draft. Acrylic, pen and charcoal on paper.

The stage was all dark and the lights where incisive. It was as if the movement of his arms, while playing cello, could cut the air into a glowing light section. The warm wood and the dark explosion. The space in between.

Hernani Faustino @ Jazz.pt

New drawing at Jazz.pt from Hernani Faustino.

The band playing was Clocks and Clouds (Luís Vicente, Rodrigo Pinheiro, Hernani Faustino,  Marco Franco)

The band opened the MUZZ concerts cycle at Palácio Galveias garden, where this drawing was made live.
The trees and the peacocks invaded the atmosphere and inspired me on this drawing too.
And by the way, I loved the name of the band, that along with the music, was inspirational as well :)

Jazz ao Centro '13

This one was made in Coimbra, in Jazz ao Centro Festival '13 (Organized by JACC). Not only from musicians is made a music festival. Here is a drawing from people sat in the audience in one of the concerts in Salão Brazil. The garnet head is Mafalda Costa and the white one is Rui Neves. People in connection through music.

Carlos Zíngaro & Carlos Santos

Made this drawing live at Museu do Chiado garden: Jardim das esculturas (Sculpture Garden). The place is full of Art in statues all over it. I was totally inspired to draw the musicians as statues too.

ReMoTeImPLoV - Paragon for Chance CD Cover

PARAGON FOR CHANCE

The idea took shape over nearly ten years of experience in free improvisation and musical wanderings by South America and Europe.

Prototype for routes to be followed in a borderless world, brings into focus the multiple connections and possibilities for dialogue between artistic languages ​​supposedly distant.

Each guest composer was given the task of sending me a totally improvised solo piece, only restriction being the maximum time established. No reference was given, unless the information that subsequently the pieces would overlap randomly by me.

The result of this adventure confirms expectations that both trouble me for years:

To paraphrase the late magus Décio Pignatari,

“Only the new structure is new meaning. And new action.”

Thank you Rodrigo Gobbet for trusting my work. I started having ideas for the record cover as soon as I heard the music. It was something visceral. Long live Mansarda Records :)
