Luís Fernandes on Artist Residency

Oficina Viva: Artists in Residence

As a musician, he has worked as a solo artist and as a member of multiple projects, having participated in 60 recordings to date. He is a founding member of the band peixe : avião, mentor of the projects The Astroboy and Landforms, member of the collective La La La Ressonance and the duo Palmer Eldritch. Since 2014, he has had a duo with pianist Joana Gama with whom he has collaborated with Ricardo Jacinto, José Alberto Gomes, Drumming GP, Orquestra Metropolitana and Orquestra de Guimarães.

In 2018 he developed the project "Speaking of Chance", exploring controlled randomness in modular synthesis systems together with André Gonçalves and Lloyd Cole. He collaborated with Rodrigo Leão on the composition, interpretation and production of the work Cérebro: Mais Vasto que o Céu, commissioned by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and with Maria João on the production of the disc "Abundância".

The scope of his work extends to the composition of music for theatre, dance, cinema, video and installations, including the film Mahjong by João Pedro Rodrigues and João Rui Guerra da Mata, presented at the Cannes and Locarno Festivals, the Porto Poetic exhibition in homage to architects Álvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto Moura at the Triennale di Milano, and the plays "Os Três Irmãos" and "Corpo Clandestino" by Victor Hugo Pontes.

Over the course of three days, I carried out an artistic residency to finalise the piece Aural Device #2, commissioned by the Zer0 Museum. During this period, the implementation of this generative work on site was tested, as well as how it will be influenced by the aural ecosystem of Santa Catarina de Fonte do Bispo and the acoustic resonances of the Museu Zer0.
