‘Remember Rainbow Bridge’, the new album by Croatian Amor, is a homage to youth and the delicate metamorphosis that occurs as childhood trips into maturity. Focused on this tender flux, the songs on ‘Remember Rainbow Bridge’ are infused with the restless energy of adolescence and a dawning sense of mortality. From the sun-kissed title track, to the night burn and wet pavement of ‘Paper Birds’, monumental highs are shuffled with great lows that we perhaps feel most clearly and earnestly in those formative years. Since the earliest collages committed to tape under the name of Croatian Amor, Loke Rahbek’s alias has at every step gravitated towards constant discovery and experimentation. The sound collages are still present while the unity of each song’s construction now often conceals the juxtapositions and overlapping edges. And while ‘Remember Rainbow Bridge’ heavily relies on rhythmic structures to propel the compositions, Croatian Amor continues to tend a highly textured field in his own inimitable way. ‘Remember Rainbow Bridge’ is a celebration of the liminal space between phases of life, the chrysalis of youth. It is a record about coming to terms with our ever-changing place in the world, its title urging us to see the world with a child’s eye, to never forget the miraculous at play only an arm’s-length away. “This world as we see it is passing away”

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.

Around hunger time. Preferably fasting.
