Thu, Oct 22 · 7:00 PM Rhizome DC · Takoma
Thursday October 22 * 7pm * $15 * TICKETS João Castro Pinto (Lisbon, 1977) has been active since the late 1990s as a composer / performer of experimental music, as well as a sound and intermedia artist. His production comprehends the domains of soundscape composition, intermedia art, sound design, live electronics improvisation (solo and with instrumentalists), electroacoustic / acousmatic music and radio art. Guillermo Pizarro uses field recordings, tapes, harsh noise, synths and ambient textures to achieve his cinematic storytelling through sound. He also runs Flag Day Recordings, a US label focused on promoting experimental music, harsh noise, ambient and soundtracks. Starting in 2024, Flag Day has added a production branch via Vitória Régia Studios focused on mastering, mixing and film scoring. Zottoh is the solo project of Santiago Soto, centered on electric guitar feedback, drones, and noise. Through amplification systems and spatial arrangements, the project explores feedback, resonance, and the physical relationship between sound, instrument, and environment.
