Marcelo dos Reis, Lisbon 1984.

He's one prominent voice in the new generation of European improvisers. All his work have been widely acclaimed, and beside all the achievements, was nominated one of the best five guitar players at the El Intruso - 8th, 9th, 10th, 14th and 16th Annual International Critics Poll, Musician of the Year 2017 at jazz.pt Magazine and in 2020 was considered one of the most influential musicians of the 2010's at the renowned Free Jazz Blog Collective.

His idiosyncratic approach to the guitar, puts him as one of the key figures of the portuguese music scene.

He works in Solo format, leads his own trio “Flora”, play in groups like Turquoise Dream, Frame Trio, The Monkious, Open Field, In Layers, in duo with Eve Risser and Luís Vicente, Chamber 4, Staub Quartet and Fail Better!, this last three were considered by the media one of the best newcomer bands.

Beside his projects he worked and shared the stage in venues and festivals all around Europe with dozens of different artists and musicians.

Apart from his work as performer, Marcelo organises the Double Bill - Concert Series, works in a regular basis as composer with the Marionet theatre company and others, he creates music for films, runs the record label Cipsela, and he is guitar teacher and the director of the Academia de Música CNM.

The latest cosmic incarnation conceived by David Maranha comes in continuity with his constant search for the infinite. Through repetition, volume and drone, the trio reveals an expanding universe in the most liturgical state.
