The Som Riscado Festival, an event «one of the most original and alternative in terms of music, sound and image, in the south of the country» will return between the 24th and 28th of November, taking place in three different spaces in Loulé. the Cineteatro Louletano, the Convento de Santo António and the Auditorium of Solar da Música Nova.
Highlighting, «as usual», «innovative projects with experimental dialogues between music and image and new explorations in the level of sound art», the event starts on the 24th of November, at 18 pm, with the inauguration of the sound installation “ Multicanal Caveira”, at the Convento de Santo António, in Loulé.
It is «a sound machine that brings us a sensory experience, where hearing is the meaning that is exclusively explored, in an attempt to counteract the omnipresent domain of vision in the field of music». The installation, created by Flávio Martins and produced by Associação Folha de Medronho, has «content by Heitor Alves, George Silver, Miguel Neto and João Silva», says the Loulé municipality.
“Multichannel Caveira” gives “the primacy to music, but also to noise and silence, so that we can go back to being audio lovers instead of mere music consumers”. The installation will play sounds that range from «the immersive to the cacophony of a psychedelic fairground carousel». Technically 'it's a 10.2 sound system in the dark. For one person at a time».
Also on the 24th, at 19 pm, also at the Convento de Santo António, Contracello will play, «a duo that is a trio, with Miguel Rocha on cello, Adriano Aguiar on double bass and Mariana Vieira, composer and audiovisual technician». Contracello features pieces by Luciano Berio, Clotilde Rosa and Anne Victorino d'Almeida, among others, with images by João Pedro Oliveira, Marianne Harlé, Daniel Rondulha and Emanuel Pimenta.
The following day, November 25, at 21 pm, at Cineteatro Louletano, “Encode”, a multidisciplinary play by Yola Pinto and Simão Costa, arrives. In the year in which they celebrate a decade of artistic collaboration, the dancer and choreographer and the pianist and composer will debut their new joint creation, “ENcode_we've got others under our skin”.
«“Encode” unfolds the classic model of creating a show in the transdisciplinary area of performing arts, bringing together artists and institutions of Art (music-performing arts-visual arts) and Science, which reflect, in their diversity, the transversal approach of research of this duo of artists», refers the municipality.
«The stage appears as if it were an exhibition room, in which there are neither visitors nor visitors, neither objects nor subjects. All are and are part of the same interdependent ecosystem. An approach to a new concept of ecology is being tested, as a collaborative act of all the organisms that constitute it», explains the duo.
On November 26, there is “Music for Algarvios do Futuro”, at 21 pm, in the Auditorium of Solar da Música Nova, a project that starts by the visualist Tiago Pereira and the musician Sílvio Rosado, using students from the Loulé Music Conservatory, with the objective of “stimulating young people to create new pieces”.
The two authors, who formed the “Sampladélicos”, “have done a remarkable job in the renewal of Portuguese musical traditions, based on traditional roots”, with Tiago Pereira the author of the Antena 2 program “A Música Portuguesa a Liking her Own ”, «promising to bring to Loulé several tongue twisters, ordered dances, prayers, songs, proverbs and rhymes that will be worked with the young musicians of the Francisco Rosado Conservatory, in Loulé»
The following day, on the 27th, “Azenha” arrives at 17:00, also at Solar da Música Nova, an «illustrated concert, made by two, with the music provided by the guitar of Rui Carvalho, better known as Filho da Mãe, and the visual part by the artist Cláudia Guerreiro.
This will be “a sensitive trip to a place in Alentejo, where the sculptor Jorge Vieira and the sculptor Noémia Cruz lived, in the house where, once, D. Dinis had a lover. A “portrait” of cosmic and intuitive loves in places to which we all belong, of the impossibilities of love and the strange conditions in which it decides to happen», explains Câmara de Loulé.
With Rui's guitar in the background, Cláudia paints and creates sets, using puppet-like paper figures and moving light on a glass, which is filmed and projected. This is all in real time.
On this day, but at night, the Cineteatro Louletano receives “Travessias”, with concept, artistic creation and direction by Marta Jardim, a performance that premiered at Centro Cultural de Belém in Lisbon and now arrives in Loulé.
«“Debating with yourself in the world” is the motto for the crossing of a naked woman in herself, a woman who is looking, who is looking for, who is alone and is an octopus. A woman who reveals herself, unfolding in multiple languages, uncovering facets, states and emotions. This woman crosses another woman and another woman. Women who are naked themselves. Looking for. And who are looking for. Women who reveal themselves, who unfold, who are incessantly trying to perceive themselves. In “Travessias”, women play among themselves, as life is played», explains the Loulé local authority.
On the last day of the Festival, November 28, «one of the most awaited moments will be the concert of “A Menina Não”, at the Auditorium of the Solar da Música Nova, at 17 pm, followed by a conversation with the public».
“A Menina Não” is the project of singer-songwriter Cátia Mazari Oliveira who, without artifice, “sings a deliciously intervening reflection on our times, taking an up-to-date, genuine and sweet approach”.
With influences ranging from the rap portuguese to folk American, through Brazilian popular music and British pop, “A Menina Não” “sings what hurts inside, what laughs on the outside, what the days bring, singing the days and the life that spills over them. What inspires her the most is the delicacy, the relationships, the dreams, the respect for those who are there and the lack of them, love».
This year's edition of the Som Riscado Festival closes on the 28th of November with the “Sensible Soccers”, at 21 pm, at the Cineteatro Louletano.
With «a sound that is difficult to compartmentalize», Sensible Soccers approach «various aesthetics, not hiding their taste for pop melodies. Eschewing the conventional, they choose to build the themes through structures and arrangements in progression. In live shows, energy is what orders the most, making them surprising even for the public that best knows the band's work», says the municipality of Loulé.
As in previous editions, the Festival continues to focus on multidisciplinary performances integrated into interactive installations, both aimed at the school community and the general public and families. The commission component also remains central, with the participation of artists and educational structures based in the Algarve.
Tickets for paid concerts (there are several free ones) will be on sale at the receptions of the Cineteatro and Auditorium of Solar da Música Nova, at participating locations (Fnac, Worten, CTT and others) and online.
