Gabriel Ferrandini begins a 9-day residency to explore new sounds. This period will serve to experiment with different approaches and deepen his creative process.

During this phase, Gabriel will open his studio at ZDB, offering a glimpse into his work process. This is an open invitation to the public, although places are very limited.

This strategic break prepares him for a new editorial cycle, allowing him to renew tools and open new directions in his artistic work.

This residency is a continuation of the research he has been developing solo, where he has explored the amplification of drums and acoustic percussion, now also incorporating an electronic dimension — establishing himself in the field of composition, in new territories increasingly distant from jazz.

Gabriel Ferrandini

Drummer and composer who began practising the instrument in connection with free jazz and improvised music and quickly demonstrated the complexity of his artistic mind – in his case, you can’t just talk about the technique and interpretation of the instrument. His path is much broader, which is also revealed in his discs Volúpias and Hair of the Dog. Ferrandini moved from an energetic way of playing, with very precise technical movements, to, in Volúpias, expressing a more melodic atmosphere, with a certain amount of poetry and romanticism, something that Hair of the Dog contrasted with, with an existential, reflective and cerebral tone, mentally denser, and where acoustics are obsessively analysed, perhaps under the influence of mentors such as Stockhausen. Ferrandini is a member of the Rodrigo Amado Motion Trio and the Red Trio; he has collaborated with names such as Alexandre Estrela, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Coro Gulbenkian, Evan Parker, Peter Evans, Hilary Woods, RP Boo, Thurston Moore, among others. More recently, he has collaborated with director and playwright Tiago Rodrigues on shows in various countries.
