AUTO-TUNE CHORAL GROUP
with Odete, Sreya, Kmado, Bernardo Alves e Aires
It is safe to say that auto-tune is the greatest technological innovation in pop music since the advent of MIDI. The possibilities are endless and vocalizing without going out of tune is no longer a requirement or even a concern. This leads to questions about authenticity: is Adele’s music more “authentic” than Charli XCX’s? Is Future’s mumble less authentic than NAS’ delivery? Is the demand for such authenticity a form of elitism? What the newly formed Auto-tune Choral Group proposes is quite simple – to blur these boundaries by sincerely deconstructing the use of the infamous vocal tuning software. With a fluctuating lineup and a semi-improvised repertoire, this is a performance that reduces the pop song format to total abstraction.
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.
Colectivo Casa Amarela (CCA) started in 2014 as a group of four – Bruno, Mafalda, Nelson and Rui. Only the first two remain. Mafalda Melim deals with all visual aspects, Bruno Pereira programs concerts and releases some albums – some of them his own, others are handpicked collaborations. Micro-label and promoter with a special focus on experimental electronic music.
