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.

This composition is made walking through the park with a binaural set. It focuses on the perspective of the many dogs that visit this park daily. By default, it also includes their humans and a few other elements.

It was commissioned by EBU for World’s Environmental Day.

Many thanks to Ladislav Železný.

This is the first piece studying the twelve stages of the Hero’s Journey accordingly to Vogler. (folowed by “quem conta um conto” and “chapter three, in betweens”)

It makes use of a long recording done in a bus, with the idea of “sound character” underneath. To listen is a condition that discloses the multiplicity of being in a place. It is to choose a focus, and the freedom of that choice. in the bus is in a place-extension that harking is.

this piece relies on the listening context and conditions, therefore it is not available online.

quem conta um conto, II is a study in narrative. The individual sounds in the piece grow as characters, based on film theorist Chris Vogler’s twelve stages of the Hero’s Journey. It juxtaposes sound spaces to join together disparate times and places; ignoring the physical impossibilities of their junction in order to potentiate the conflict that can emerge from their friction.

It alternates between a sharp loyalty to the original actions of the event and its surrealism, wondering if this story can be told and perceived in different ways and influence one another.

my contribution for the 55 minutes collective work, within the context of aural tectonics lectures (Raviv Ganchrow, Institute of Sonology).
a collection of sounds, somewhere between unplanned and detailed choices, which result in the idea that sound has no borders or physical limitations (…). den haag here & there is also the product of the first living experiences i went through in this city.

a sound documentary of the Swedish city växjö. a place surrounded by nature, where all the seasons make the difference, and a rich source of sounds. time kept passing, sounds kept changing and thus the city’s identity too.
