JESUÍNO
Portugal
jesuíno assumes exploratory music as a territory of comfort, oscillating between immersive, admittedly minimal electronics, experimentalism, reminiscences of his industrial youth on the bank south of the Tagus, and field recordings, creating soundscapes that are both concrete and abstract, in the sum of minimal textures in form and technique.
He also sees exploratory music as a territory of conflict and combat, colliding with social, political and economic reality, launching pamphlets into the dominant ether as we head towards Hades. It is in individual creation that he moves freely, immune to (rather demented) constraints, sporadically joining activities in partnership (e.g. Profound Whatever collective).
The books “A Lã e a Neve” by Ferreira de Castro and “Café Montalto” by Manuel da Silva Ramos (CISMA edition), united in one instrument, are the nucleus, in the literal sense, from which a proposal to tour the history of 20th century Covilhã and the latent class struggle associated with it is developed, using and evoking the construction of a collective memory.
