ASYNCH is a live performance that combines foley and sampling, field recording and audio morphing. Based on the ideas of sonic fiction, it is an acousmatic experience of a film that has not been done – and if it were, it would be asynchronous. It’s a confusion where one sound might sound like another, a sound as-if, a magnified detail and everything that shakes (crumbles into dust).

ASYNCH is also the return of a promise, a function that retrieves a value and resolves it. It’s a hold back.

The performance is a release of Pinheiro’s first attempt to make an EP. It consists of 6 individual pieces organised (and failing) as the format of a (foley) song. It invites critical listening and ear cleaning.

2022 – stereo + 6 bluetooth speakers – 30 min

reticências explores FM, noise, repetition, rhythm and randomness. It is an unfinished sentence, a never-ending story, it’s a continuation, a transition in between. It departs from a broken radio that speaks on its own towards the exploration of its patterns and spatial findings. It is noise and texture. It is a sonic drama.

The original radio recording is played “untouched” from the bluetooth speakers and it can be heard here on archive.org. In the main P.A. system… I answer it.
The full performance is available in video thanks to Punctum/Radim Labuda.
The bluetooth speakers are from Synth Library Prague. Thanks to Mary C.
