SELECTED SOUNDS : SELECTED IMAGES #4
.
.
RITA SILVA
Young Portuguese composer and instrumentalist, born in Porto and based in Lisbon, concluded studies in Electronic Music and Music Production and studied at the renowned Institute of Sonology in the Netherlands, Rita Silva is one of the most established presences on the national experimental music scene. The artist has collaborated with several artists, such as Mbye Ebrima, João Mortágua, Angie Reed, Meta, Joana de Sá, among others.
Rita Silva published “The inflationary epoch” in 2022 with the label of Coletivo Casa Amarela and is now preparing to release a new album with Revolve.
The artist's sound is recognized for being immersive, with cascading melodies that provoke psychoacoustic sensations and leave those who listen to it in a trance-like state.

PEDRO PMDS
Pedro Sousa was born on the Island of São Miguel, Azores, where he completed his academic studies at the Ponta Delgada Regional Conservatory, having completed the 8th grade of musical training and 5th grade piano. Since 2008 he has dedicated himself to composing and producing music in the electronics/experimental area and has acquired skills in the manufacture of unconventional instruments.
In 2008 he formed the PMDS project together with Filipe Caetano, having released his first LP in 2011 following releases in 2019, 2021 and 2024. In 2023 he recorded an album with musician Filipe Felizardo and is currently recording an album with artist Inês Condeço.
In 2023 he completed his postgraduate degree in Sound Art - Experimental Processes at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon.
Solo explores electronic landscapes full of sequences, tape loops, no beats, a fog of faded memories.

AURAL DESIGN
(EN) Founded in 2018, Aural Design is the solo project of João Paulo Daniel, who also runs the Portuguese label Russian Library and the project Folclore Impressionista, with whom he shares a hauntological sensibility strongly anchored in psychogeographic folk, retro-futurism and library music.
Rui Miguel Abreu wrote in Rimas e Batidas “… Aural Design is about reimagining that point of confluence between what memory kept from the soundtracks of documentaries that a certain generation avidly watched on television being presented by such fascinating people as Carl Sagan, Arthur C. Clarke or Jacques-Yes Cousteau, and what the present's continuous scanning of the electronic past has revealed to us through reprints issued by labels such as Finders Keepers or Trunk…”
Aural Design has several releases from Russian Library and British label Woodford Halse

.< br/>PRETONIAN
(EN) General blackouts are being reported in several locations.
The power outages are being attributed to a group of sentient entities know as Protonians.
They are seen sucking energy from power lines, substations and other infrastructure.
These entities are composed of 90% superheated plasma and emerge when strong fluctuations in interlatent and electromagnetic fields Clash with each other. Sightings of Protonians are extremely dangerous although short-lived. They live their entire lives in short lived microbursts. What may seem to humans as a momentary flash of light is in fact the entire life cycle of an intelligent being, from birth to death and every moment in between.
The Russian Library is promoting the development of an ultra-speed communications protocol in an effort to establish, prolong and maintain a safe contact with these fleeting life forms.
