March 4th is marked by the moment when Mísia begins to reveal to the world the project she has embraced in recent months – Animal Sentimental. It is a multidisciplinary project that tells, sings and highlights the trajectory of the artist who revolutionized traditional Fado. Da vida I want the signs is the single that anticipates the arrival of a new album, which will be released by the German label Galileo in April. This record work arises from Mísia’s desire to accompany the revisiting of her memories with the ideal soundtrack to transport readers to her imagination, rich, eclectic and fascinating. Mísia is not only one of the most precious treasures of our musical panorama, she is also one of the most adventurous and innovative Fado artists, a voice that has never forgotten tradition and has always known how to integrate the signs that life has brought her into her work. Feelings, that ineffable material that inspires poets and artists from so many other areas, are treasures that only weigh on the soul. Misia is well aware of this. This female artist, dreamy fado singer, singer-actress, storyteller of her own and others, is the first to admit that she is […]
“A Um Osso” is the first single from Filho da Mãe’s upcoming album, “Terra Dormente”, which will be released on April 8 by Omnichord Records. “A Um Osso” was recorded in Ílhavo, in the Capela da Biblioteca Municipal, in August 2021, in a period still very marked by the effects of the pandemic with successive confinements and deflation. One could imagine a complicated following year with “a thousand dogs to a bone” from which the name of the song comes. It was a two-way fight between Filho da Mãe on the guitar and Hugo Valverde behind the microphones with some ideas flying against the walls of the chapel and finding salvation at the dinner table. Several takes were followed over the days and attempts to tame the music until finally, already in the process of mixing the record, it ended up revealing itself naturally. It is a mark of strength in “Terra Dormente”, an album that walks between two diffuse worlds, which suggests duplicated images and reflections that oppose a so-called “reality” to any other world. Ana Viotti, director of the music video that accompanies the release of the single, captures these images full of reflections well and shuffles them […]
Storm Factory gives its name to the artistic project that was born from the meeting between the musician Rui Maia, who we know from X-Wife or Mirror People, with Giulia Gallina, an Italian composer living in Portugal and who we know from projects like The Loafing Heroes. After performing in 2021 with the single Corporeal, on March 17 they released their eponymous debut album, in which they built a distinct and unique sound environment, with contemplative, dreamy and cinematic features, born from the piano’s relationship with environmental electronics and experimental. The debut album came from the desire of the two musicians to develop a new aesthetic path born from the fusion of the neoclassical and minimalist pieces and compositions of Giulia Gallina, with the sound, environmental and electronic explorations of Rui Maia. The intention was to build something new, an aesthetic symbiosis that the two musicians had not yet explored. From this meeting, an album was born where there are no barriers of style. This was the key to the dialogue between different universes, which intertwine here in the search for a soundscape where a sensory piano, inspired by travel and mythologies, finds a wide range of environmental, industrial and […]
