My work investigates the materiality of sound and aspects of acoustic phenomena through the use of minimal and unstable processes, which may include synthesis, amplification techniques or the gaita de fole (portuguese bagpipes).
With the bagpipes, the focus lies in exploiting its physical limits, its morphology – in permanent development – and the performaive act.
In 2024 I started the bagpipe group As Rochas da Ajuda, where I think the instrument in a collective context and explore the possibilities of polyphony.
I play terrace bagpipes for Clube de Futebol "Os Belenenses".
Ongoing collaborations include the group OndaXoque, a duo with Margarida Garcia and GAX [with Seymour Wright].
