FAY VICTOR & SAM NEWSOME
Almost a decade old collaborating on several projects, Fay Victor and Sam Newsome present themselves for the first time as a duo for a journey marked by a profound musical synergy based on free communication. Their work has frequently crossed paths in Fay Victor's quartet, SoundNoiseFUNK. Fay is a sound artist and vocalist who uses performance, improvisation, and composition to examine representations of modern American life and blackness, with a well-rounded approach to vocal expression that focuses on American folk music, blues, scat, and spoken word. . Gary Bartz, Archie Shepp, Nicole Mitchell, Randy Weston and Roswell Rudd are some of the artists he has collaborated with over the years.
Sam Newsome, musician, educator and writer, is a central figure in the evolution of the contemporary soprano saxophone. He stood out for exploring new sounds and expanding the expressive possibilities of the instrument, using extended techniques, making modifications to the saxophone and exploring the relationship between sound and space. Arrives in Lisbon with two albums released in 2023, Cosmic Unconsciousness Unplugged, a duo with pianist Jean-Michel Pilc, and Soprano-Logues, in collaboration with saxophonist Dave Liebman.
