A real surprise in today’s electronic battlefield, one EP was all it took for it to resonate in the ears and places it deserved. But Boundary wasn’t born from a simple snap of the fingers; it’s the culmination of years of electro-acoustic experimentation combined with unpretentious academic study and many hours behind the decks. Above all, it conveys an intention to understand the complex nature of chaos in order to recreate it – and, of course, make a form of expression out of it. Open to mutations somewhere between industrial idioms and more sonic samplings, it is in the dark meanders of rhythmic alleyways that she circulates a raw energy that lurks in meta-melodies and finds breath in possible silences.

On a vocal level, he shows us mastery and daring, whether it’s in the guttural nature that pulls from machinelike rhythms or from spaces on the edge of perception. The evocative scream, the dry whisper and the amplified breathing are elements that open channels to ongoing delirium in a state of living matter. On the other hand, if her solo work offers a whole teeming and prolific universe, her collaborations with Caterina Barbieri, Cecilia Tosh or Lucy Railton have demonstrated even greater breadth in these – and other – sonic lexicons. She returns to Lisbon, a city with which she has a long-standing relationship, where she performed and spent a few days in artistic residency. Catching her here, in this phase of hyperactivity and growing recognition, is an opportune occasion for a sensory feast. NA

Guilherme Curado

Guilherme Curado works between media, crossing video and sound, building virtual utopian landscapes. Immateriality, fluidity and reflections, in dialogue with the body and identity, serve as a starting point for reflection on contemporary experience.

In his sound practice, he focuses on creating dreamlike environments, using them as tools to escape reality.

He was part of TRV001, a compilation released by the turva label in 2020, and in 2021 he released For Better Times by Variz. He has collaborated in the creation of sound pieces for shows such as ÁguasMil by Beatriz Garrucho and Kepler-69C by Pablo Girolami.
