nota de programa:
Tenho uma fixação pela "Missa em Si menor" de Bach. Penso que todos os músicos a têm. Sempre que chega ao momento do "Crucifixus" a minha alma percebe que não estamos sozinhos. Aliás, creio que seja o único momento em que sou de todas as religiões. O único momento em que sou de alguma. Em que acredito em tudo. Em todos os livros e em todas as estórias.
O "Crucifixus" é uma passacaglia. Sempre quis fazer uma passacaglia. O baixo repete e repete e a música é sempre diferente.
Dito assim, parece uma metáfora da nossa democracia.
Mas não é. Na minha PASSACAGLIA o baixo é sempre forte. Não há que esconder.
A metáfora é essa.

Live BBC Radio 3 broadcast of Philip Venables' numbers 91-95 from Kings Place, London. 17.09.18

numbers 91 - 95 by Philip Venables

This piece was commissioned by TANGRAM and premiered by TANGRAM at RYE Festival 2019, Rye, UK.

2nd performance: by SILKROAD project at Boston Conservatory on Friday, 27 Sep. 

Erasure is a piece for flute, piano and yangqin, inspired by ‘Erased de Kooning’ by Robert Rauschenberg, a painting that seems to me reveals the relationship between art and spirituality. This piece plays with concepts of ‘creation’ and ‘deletion’, considered within the same process, as a way of reflecting the practice of meditation whereupon one gains thoughts as much as they learn to let them go. Erased de Kooning serves as a good example of how the removal of one subject can allow for the appearance of another ‘wonder’.

Distraídos ou hipnotizados, assim viajamos dentro da cabeça da coreógrafa Lígia Soares, lugar onde convida a entrar nesta experiência sonora que se inicia na parte ocidental da cidade, mais precisamente no muro do Cemitério dos Prazeres. Um itinerário comentado pela dramaturga a que se sobrepõe a nossa experiência pessoal, realizada no mesmo lugar mas noutro espaço temporal. Acompanhe esta viagem cheia de adrenalina, salpicada de ideias soltas que se encontram num trajecto heterogéneo, da Rua Saraiva de Carvalho à Igreja de Santa Isabel com um céu de Michael Biberstein com 50 camadas de tinta acrílica e 800 metros quadrados, com vislumbres da Coelho da Rocha, passando pela Casa Fernando Pessoa que, após uma remodelação do edifício de José Adrião, foi reaberta em Agosto 2020 apresentando um novo projecto museográfico. Deambular por cafés e livrarias, espreitar os Prazeres e a Estrela, explorar azulejos, cores, texturas. Passada Larga é uma viagem sensorial que desperta a atenção aos detalhes.

Distracted or hypnotized, we travel inside the head of the choreographer Lígia Soares, a place where she invites us to enter this sound experience that begins in the western part of the city, more precisely in the wall of the Prazeres Cemetery. An itinerary commented by the dramaturge to which our personal experience is superimposed, made in the same place but in another temporal space. Follow this journey full of adrenaline, sprinkled with loose ideas that are on a heterogeneous path, from Saraiva de Carvalho Street to Santa Isabel Church with a sky of Michael Biberstein with 50 layers of acrylic paint and 800 square meters, with glimpses of Coelho da Rocha, going by Fernando Pessoa House which, after a building rehabilitation by José Adrião architect, reopened in August 2020 presenting a new museographic project. Wander through cafes and bookstores, peek at Prazeres and Estrela, explore tiles, colors, textures. Broad Stride is a sensorial journey that awakens attention to detail.
