Rui Costa, artistic director of Binaural/Nodar will participare in 2º Festival Vibracional TPS, to take place on Saturday, 4.June.2011 at Cidade da Cultura, in Santiago de Compostela (Spain). The event is organized by TPS – Centro de Novas Tecnoloxias do Pico Sagro, a collective of multidisciplinary Galician artists focused on the free improvisation practice as an artistic and collective work method . Rui Costa will play with the Galician musician Xesus Valle as a duo and their presentation will be based on the creation of harmonic and polyrhythmic structures from the improvised interplay between the artists, using granular synthesis. The sound elements from the real world will be subjected to an abstraction and formalization process in order to obtain primordial acoustic elements that can be molded by the artists.

The Arrington de Dionyso’s Portuguese and Galician tour organized by Binaural in last May 2007 was a big success and a great experience for us. A big thank you to all the people who helped us getting the 5 gigs for Arrington (Filipe and Jonathan from Soopa, Manel Poças from ZDB, Artur Durão from Zoom, Jorge Trindade from Trem Azul and last but not the least, Xesús Valle in Vigo, Spain).

Arrington de Dionyso Live @ Lisbon Play Now

Produced by Binaural, the american musician and improvisor Arrington de Dionyso, will tour Portugal and Galicia in five long-awaited concerts.

Arrington de Dionyso, born on January, 4th 1975 in Olympia, Washington, is one of the most ecletic improvisors of the new generation, in a wild mix of throat singing, bass clarinet and jaws harp. During his concerts, Arrington de Dionyso is a musical shaman somewhere in between Albert Ayler, Tuva singing and the Rock and Roll energy of The Stooges.

Live, he appears regularly throughout Europe and Australasia on prepared piano in the Pateras Baxter/Brown trio, on voice & electronics in a duo with Robin Fox, the mutant hip hop quartet Beta Erko or as a conductor of his own notated works.
