For the second year in a row, APCA once again presents the MADEIRADiG CiTY SESSIONS cycle starting this Saturday, May 20th, at the St. Andrews Presbyterian Church (next to the Funchal Botanical Garden) from 11 am with the workshop “A Fantology and Experimental Music”, carried out by Bruno Pereira, also known as Aires, co-founder of Colectivo Casa Amarela. Bruno Pereira meets the concept of Fantology, from which he exemplifies the way in which musical composition and production techniques such as sampling, collage and sound decontextualization are inserted into his work, both solo and in collective projects. On the practical side, he will showcase his creative process with the collection and manipulation of field recordings and will end with a small performance.
At 9:30 pm it's the turn of Croatian Amor, artistic name of Loke Rahbek. Loke founded and runs the label Posh Isolation, an incubation platform for many artists from across Scandinavia and northern Europe, one of the most important and recognized labels on the European experimental scene. Locke is also half of the duo Damien Dubrovnik who were already part of the MADEIRADiG lineup for MUDAS in the 2018 edition.
Participation in the workshop on the morning of May 20th is free and freely accessible to the general public, simply by registering on the new CiTY SESSIONS website: www.madeiradigcitysessions.org
