Rádio Sontato no Lusophonica com gravações feitas em Timbuctu, Gao e Tintelout em 2010/2011, um ano antes da guerra civil que afectou toda a região de Azawad e Mali subsariano. Dedico aos que até hoje se encontram no campo de refugiados de Mbera, na Mauritânia.

Radio Sontato on Lusophonica with recordings made in Timbuktu, Gao and Tintelout in 2010/2011, a year before the civil war that affected the entire Azawad region and sub-Saharan Mali. I dedicate it to those who still live in the Mbera refugee camp in Mauritania.

Metamorhposis effect captured in Día de la Resistencia de los Pueblos Indígenas de Guatemala.

“ A perceptive effect describing the unstable and changing relations between elements of a sound ensemble. A classic figure of rhetoric, metamorphosis characterizes the instability present in structural relations that link parts of an ensemble and the resulting possibility to switch elementary components of a totality, so it is perceived as being in perpetual transition."

Echo effect captured in Santo Antonio neighborhood.

“Echo, a phenomenon in nature, is the simple or multiple repetition of a sound emission, linked to a reflection in the space of difusion. The term comes from Echo, a mythological nymph condemned to never speak first, but only repeat the last syllables of others“

Ilha de Moçambique, Mozambique, December 2017. Reverberation captured in São Sebastião Fort. 

“Etymologically, reverberation comes from the Latin verb reverberare, “to strike back, to reflect”. In the displacement of a sound from its source to the ear, only a small part of the sound energy travels in the most direct way. A large portion of the sound energy follows indirect paths, as it is reflected on the ground and the environment of the milieu: walls, ceilings, facades.”

Ziguinchor, Senegal, october 2010.

Imitation effect captured in the city of Ziguinchor.

“A semiotic effect referring to a sound emission that is consciously produced according to a style of reference. Imitation implies the use of a cultural code that allows recognition of this style in the sound emission. Imitation is found as structure in the global shape of a sound utterance, and it works in a complex way; Imitation implies a sense of intention on the part of the emitter, and to be appropriately perceived, it also requires the listener’s knowledge of the reference.

The importance of modern communication techniques and mass media favors the emergence of new sound practices, including the imitation effect. A significant part of teenagers’ conversations seems to be filled with onomatopoeia, interjection, and deictic words borrowed from the media or cartoons. The same is true of other elements of sound culture. For example, each regional accent imposes its mark on the inhabitants of the area. Newcomers may express their own territory by voluntarily adopting it or not. In any case, the imitation effect activates a feeling of belonging to a group or collective and fulfills a function of socio-cultural cohesion and integration.”

Lisboa, entre junho de 2011 e Dezembro de 2013.

Teaser of my research project for the master degree in Anthropology, made in the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas de Lisboa.The Sharawadji project aims to be an interactive installation which portraits six analyzed cases of neighborhood noise in Lisbon, in order to evaluate about the importance of sound in the urban environment. This installation brings into discussion some aspects concerning the Portuguese noise abatement law (act) in Lisbon city. The main purpose of the project is to promote a sensory experience to the observer of the installation. Conceptually, it was based on a sound effect that happens in the urban centers called Sharawadji effect. Documented by Jean François Augoyard and Henry Torgue, Sharawadji is an aesthetic effect, characterized by a feeling of plenitude emerged by the contemplation of a complex soundscape.
