Colectivo Casa Amarela
JEJUM #19 — HOCUS
Saturday •
Duration: 45min
Age-range: +6
Booking: €
The Casa Amarela (Yellow House) Collective (CCA) and Rua das Gaivotas 6 started a partnership in 2020 that proposed a curatorial occupation of music, whose periodicity would be monthly. The formula is simple: one Saturday a month, CCA will showcase a sound artist and their latest works.
The focus is to present the best of what is produced and what is heard in the electronic music and sound art panorama, opening space for the dissemination of the portuguese experimental music scene.
The JEJUM (Fasting) concerts have already promoted premieres, unusual collaborations, unexpected twists, and double performances.
The main stage at Rua das Gaivotas 6 whets the appetite and makes listeners hungry.
Always on Saturdays, at the end of the day. Around hunger time. Preferably fasting.
Hocus
Hocus is the new solo project of trumpeter and improviser João Almeida (Peachfuzz, Chão Maior, Rodrigo Amado Refraction Quartet), an increasingly relevant figure in the Portuguese experimental scene. Using the no-input mixer method, João has in ‘Narrow’, his debut album, a powerful and coherent record, a noise treatise divided in seven phases, inspired by two ideas – static movement and mental illness. This edition, the fourth of the Yellow House Collective during the year 2022, is limited to 30 copies and includes a chrome tape holder sculpted in plaster by the artist Mafalda Melim.
