The visual concert “Autopsy of a Portuguese Futurism”, by the New Futurist Orchestra of Porto, today, April 5, at 21:30 pm, and a special show by Rodrigo Leão tomorrow, April 6, at 22:00 pm, are proposed of Som Riscado, the Festival of Music and Image of Loulé. 

Both shows take place at the Cine-Teatro Louletano, right in the city centre. The concert by the New Orquestra Futurista do Porto will be an absolute debut in the Algarve of this Porto artistic collective composed of prestigious Portuguese musicians in the experimental and improvised areas.

To combine the instrumental sound with the spoken word (poetic), and given that the concert focuses on the theme of Portuguese Futurism and its main aesthetic lines from a perspective of artistic deconstruction and reinterpretation, the show features the special participation of Vítor Correira, actor , based in the Algarve. There will also be a strong visual dimension to the concert through the use of video.

«The New Futurist Orchestra of Porto promises to highlight the libertarian act of using all sounds in musical contexts. Its instrumentation includes a panoply of everyday objects such as kitchen utensils, toys, damaged mechanisms and modified electrical circuits, thus highlighting the importance of using unconventional sound sources for the constant rediscovery of new musical languages», says the Câmara de Loulé .

Also today, Thursday, at 18:30 pm, at the Casa da Cultura de Loulé (CECAL – Municipal Park), the interactive installation “Non Human Device #4” is inaugurated, commissioned by the Cine-Teatro by Boris Chimp 504.

In the visual concert “Os Portugueses”, Rodrigo Leão, a prestigious composer and musician, explores the theme of Portugal with a strong visual language as a support.

Rodrigo Leão, accompanied by a guest singer, a formation anchored on a string of strings (violin, cello and viola) and a multi-instrumentalist will reproduce on stage the soundscapes of the original recordings of “Os Portugueses” in a revised and updated version of the instrumental themes by the composer written for the television series “Portugal, um Retrato Social”, whose images will be projected during the show.

The festival is concerned with consolidating the reflexive component that characterizes it by promoting conversations and debates between the worlds of music and image. Thus, before the concert, the conversation "From Image to Music: Labyrinths and Fascinations of the Creative Process" will take place, at 18:30 pm, in the same place, with the participation of musician Rodrigo Leão, by Ivan Dias (producer/director ) and Joana Pontes (director).

Both Rodrigo Leão's and Nova Orchestra's concerts have tickets for 5 euros. The pass for the five days of the festival has a promotional value of 15 euros.
