FAVELA REAL |
FAVELA REAL # 1 Penha.sco, Lisboa |
"Favela Real" (aka "Royal/ Real Favela") is the name of an off-grid place in the countryside, which I have been growing and nurturing together with John Klima . When invited to perform at Robalo, in Lisbon (July 2021), I started by making a soundscape composition with recordings from this environment - it would become a base-layer for live-performance. On top, I played my custom zither and AG#3.9 - my audio-visual 3D software that processes pre-recorded sounds and graphics based on pitch detection from the zither input; it processed country sounds as well. John played the mandolin cello. Later in the summer, Atau Tanaka and Josephine Berry came to spend some time in Favela. From this also emerged a creative collaboration that expanded the previous duo-work, culminating with a performance at Utero in Lisbon. Atau played his EMG muscle interface and Josephine used spoken word. Rather than projecting live-processed 3D image, here it made sense to show photos from Favela, taken by Josephine's daughter Agnes. |
