„GOLDHORN“
intuitive live soundtrack performance |

Created through the visuals of 1931 silent film "Kingdom of the Goldhorn" ("V kraljestvu Zlatoroga")
as performed live for BEAST International Film Festival in September 2023 at Batalha Centro de Cinema, Porto

Minimal opulence - vibrant monotony - waves and chapters.
A faint feeling of familiarity. Like a memory, that almost managed to escape your mind for good.

Released November 3, 2023

Artwork by Nanna Cartis
Music written and mastered by Ivo São Bento.

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

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, recently playing selected shows in the United States.
