O som que se dissolve no espaço não é um ponto fixo, mas sim movimento entre o gesto e a ressonância do lugar. Existe no limiar entre o que poderia ser e uma trajetória. Um mapa de escuta, que habita o tempo.
Gravado ao vivo no O’Culto da Ajuda durante o Festival Curto-Circuito, 7 de Dezembro de 2024.

Sound dissolving into space is not a fixed point but rather a movement between gesture and the resonance of place. It exists on the threshold between what could be and a trajectory— a listening map that inhabits time.

EIGHT DIALOGUES is the result of home sessions recordings made between 2016 March, and 2017 January, that caught Buchla brand’s attention, and they kept a video of our duo on the their homepage for a certain time. Sadly, these were the Music Easel creator, Don Buchla (1937-2016), last days.
This album’s music has its inspiration on how the characteristics, sound, and timbre of the Buchla Music Easel, and the Double Bass can influence each other, and construct together musical ideas, textures, melodic games, and forms, exploring at same time the spontaneous flow of improvisation, as a composition way.
As we both share fascination for the 20th century Avant-garde and Conceptual Art movements, and Don Buchla was pioneer of new synthesis concepts that became the West Coast style, connected to a more experimental point of view of the electronic music, we dedicate Eight Dialogs to Don Buchla, the creator of the Music Easel.
ARMANDO TEIXEIRA’s creative common denominator is electronics, whether in an experimental vision, or transposing discoveries, possibilities, and interpretations into genres from song to soundtrack. His electronics, but in an experimental approach, play a decisive role in his career, which has seen more than two dozen records released since 1994.
MIGUEL LEIRIA PEREIRA as double bassist has his strongest influence by Gary Karr, with who he have been in touch since 1996. He teaches the double bass at the Lisbon National Conservatory, as he keeps a musical activity in different areas, but with focus on music that brings the double bass into a creative path.
Both musicians have been working together since de mid 80's until present, and Eight Dialogues marks the point on this time line, that brings together the most personal, and at the same time, abstract representation of a long friendship and share, by a musical conversation.
