ZIMA present "Grão de Luz" ("Grain of Light") - with Tiago Sousa

ZIMA continues her search for ways into living and experiencing music, with no interest in categorization or qualification, or even a place in history. A project with an almost child-like belief and attitude, which strives to become an open space dedicated to the idea of freedom and the transformation of desires - a playground for instinct.

ZIMA invites musician Tiago Sousa - interestingly, the first recipient of OUT.RA’S creative grant. This encounter came to be due to an interest in starting a dialogue between both sides’ respective (in)experiences through sensibility and disquiet, recognizing and incorporating the particularities of each part of the whole and questioning the scale of the possible differences, originating a new body from the collage of the three participants.

ZIMA & Tiago Sousa present Grão de Luz (“Grain of Light”), the second public presentation of Marta and Sara’s project, the recipient of one of three OUT.RA Creative Grants for 2020: the day before the shortest day of the year - the one marking the transition between a long decrease in the presence and intensity of the sun, to a long ascension - ZIMA & Tiago Sousa strive to bring part of that phenomenon to S.D.U.B ‘Os Franceses’. To allow, through this event, listeners to experience that sensation of what growing in opposite directions might be like, despite being part of one same nature. To travel through the minimums and maximums of one thing, of three things, of everything. To sail through the waves of disaster and hope, without always requiring light to see. Perhaps a dance will be found in the music. Maybe it’ll be seen. Maybe it’ll be heard. Always revealing by hiding. Always illuminating by obscuring. Or everything, everything upside down.

 

EM REDE, an online festival coming up this weekend

Check out the three days of EM REDE in the links below!

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3


EM REDE is an online festival which will present almost twenty concerts by local musicians over three days.

This festival will showcase the diversity and wealth of talent in Barreiro's music scene, with space for songs, jazz, hip-hop, electronic and experimental music, bringing up-and-coming and established artists together.

From their homes, these musicians accepted the invitation by OUT.RA and the Barreiro Municipality (the event's co-producers) to perform at a festival which sends a message to the city and the country that Music can't stop and that the Arts still are, today and always, an essential part of our lives.

Watching EM REDE is entirely free and shows will be broadcast on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the Barreiro Municipality Youtube channel. Below, you can find out about the schedules and line-ups for each day.

AN OUT.RA AND CMB CO-PRODUCTION

Tiago Sousa

[Lotação limitada. Venda antecipada no Posto de Turismo do Barreiro (estação fluvial) ou através de reserva prévia para info@outra.pt]

Pianist, composer, teacher, activist and humanist, Tiago Sousa (who's been making Barreiro his home for the past two decades) is one of the most original and respected portuguese musicians in this 21st century, having authored – at least – two masterpieces in the country's musical history: 'Walden Pond's Monk' (2011), in a trio with percussionist Baltazar Molina and clarinetist Ricardo Ribeiro, and 'Samsara' (2013), an absolute piano solo of staggering beauty, economy and complexity.

With a new album fully recorded and expected to hit the stores in 2020 (his second on british label Discrepant Records), he's recently been developing and presenting on special occasions a new solo repertoire which, besides anticipating some of these soon-to-be-released pieces, pays hommage to some of the beacons that light his path: Claude Debussy, Federico Mompou or Erik Satie.

This will be a rare occasion for Barreiro to witness the brilliance of one of it's most powerful voices. One not to be missed.

TIAGO SOUSA

No final do ano passado, e depois de ter respondido com brilhantismo a desafios semelhantes feitos pelo Teatro Maria Matos ou pela Fundação de Serralves, comissariámos ao pianista e compositor barreirense a escrita de uma nova peça, incentivando a continuidade da sua cada vez mais celebrada e inconfundível música, que tem vindo a afirmá-lo como uma das vozes mais singulares no panorama nacional.

O resultado, de título “Apontamentos sobre a existência”, reflecte os temas que mais lhe são caros: o trabalho e a arte na sociedade capitalista, o activismo político e existencial, a condição humana. Apresenta-o agora, no carismático Velvet Be Jazz Club, num concerto duplo que se divide entre esta estreia absoluta e uma revisitação de temas do seu reportório, na companhia de alguns dos seus habituais cúmplices de palco e estúdio.

Uma noite muito especial para encerrar a temporada “OUT.RA Música” em 2016.
