Flow -" one of the Best Electronic Records of the year" -Rewind 2006 -WIRE magazine

"Joaquim is a key figure in Portuguese electronic music, as well as being heavily involved in a number of cross-media activities (film, visual arts, dance, etc). Flow takes as its basis the human voice (provided by fellow Crónica artist Filipa Hora) and synthesizes a bleak but beautiful electronic meditation on the nature of identity. "Slow Moments" is strongly reminiscent of AGF's fractured confessionals, with Hora's conspirational whisper negotiating a path through a sonic landscape littered with other samples of her voice. "Thinking Moments" captures the tiny sounds of moistened lips and snatched breath, adding heavily processed guitar to the mix, creating an engagingly intimate tone poem. Joaquim has a great gift for drawing out rhythmic and melodic patterns from the shards of sound produced by his software, giving Flow a pop heart that could see it finding favour with fans of the more "consumer-friendly" glitchery of Fennesz, Microstoria, et al." ______Keith Moline / WIRE magazine (08.2006)

03 Slow Moments (Flow)

"de - tour"
@c & Vitor Joaquim
 
label: feld 005

@c (Miguel Carvalhais and Pedro Tudela) and Vitor Joaquim have been collaborating regularly for a few years in different settings like trios or larger improvisational ensembles (as the ongoing project Naja Orchestra). Along the way @c started the Cronica label and Vitor has been one of the first musicians they released.

By 2005, we planned a tour in Germany, during which we always performed two acts and sometimes merged for a third (occasionally adding a fourth collaborator as in Koeln or Stuttgart). This was an ideal setup for free improvisation. In Frankfurt, Bernhard presented us his label and his interest in collaborating with us. After having Vitor's participation in two of the @c releases by then, we thought it was the time to produce a full-length collaboration between @c and Vitor Joaquim and upon returning to the studio, we started working on the recordings of those sessions in Germany (and one is Lisbon, the previous year), using them as the prime matter for building this CD."

De-tour: is not composed by, but rather composed from live recordings. Not being an exact documentation of the performances in Germany, it is born of those, following what has become our modus operandi: excerpts of variable length were extracted from the recordings and recomposed through digital processing, editing and collage. Therefore, these tracks are not improvisations anymore, but their improvisational genesis is still present over the entire CD. A CD that is not "live" but much more of a concrete composition.
