FLORESTA OBLÍQUA

Floresta Oblíqua is the alter-ego of Mário Alexandre, a Lisbon-based musician who has, for the past six years, engaged in a process of sonic research into the myriad possibilities within synthesizers, pedals and other analog micro-worlds. He released, in 2019, the album “The Day “The Day The Universe Began Again”, celebrating a particularly important moment in the life of the person-musician.

In another session at the lovely dance hall of Os Franceses, he brings us, on this occasion, the release of a new, homonymous album released by Fungo, one of the labels more closely attuned to the movements of modular electronics in Portugal. And what an album that is; full of poetic, modular explorations, little noises which range from the celestial to the deepest magma, and long meditations over the nature of electric sound, investigated through a strict mental and physical space. There’s a conducting line of utopic sonic landscapes which seems to suggest encountering and and withdrawing from a lost paradise - an easy suggestion to follow in the times we live in.

ZZY

Our special guest to open this afternoon of concerts is Barreiro’s own José Veiga, also known as ZZY, who began his journey in producing electronic music in 2013. A multifaceted and eclectic author, he creates compositions which go for the opalescense of ambient and the effervescence of the hardest electronica. Among his portfolio are several releases including: Phobia EP (2017), Artificial Thoughts álbum (2018), Mariana EP (2019), all of them with Argentinian label Abstrakt Reflections. Among his more recent releases are the Plastic Jazz ep and the Disorder album, both released independently.
