Ivo São Bento is an exploratory sound artist and aural composer from Lisbon based in Graz.

By working preferably fully improvisational each performance by São Bento is solely focused on the respective present moment, resulting in a myriad of unique sonic outcomes and allowing for the creation of (and in) “complete natural flow” - the focal point of São Bentos work.

From sculpting vast and ever-evolving sonic spaces by multi-layering carefully tailored processed sounds, field recordings and electro acoustic elements to meticulously crafting simplistic musical blueprints with purposeful precision using old analogue machines - the work of the Portuguese electronic music veteran creates a variation of aural environments - pleasant, immersive and bright as well as dense, heavy, dissonant and unexpected channeling.

Under the moniker “VelgeNaturlig” he has released over 32 full-length records, some of which have been published through international major labels and has been performing both nationally and internationally, also playing selected shows in the United States.
