PARPAR
PARPAR é um duo de música experimental que funde free jazz com noise rock.É uma dança entre saxofone barítono e bateria à volta de uma aldeia em destruição pelas chamas. É com uma bipolaridade sonora e iluminações esquizofrénicas que PAR (saxofone baritono e loops) & PAR (bateria e efeitos) arquitectam um ambiente livre de clichets, com máscaras que figuram o assalto a frases repetidas ate à exaustão, por sua vez rasgadas pela improvisação absoluta, livre de cadeias ou correntes.
O duo ocupa o chão de qualquer espaço que lhe seja cedido, trazendo consigo percussões oriundas de outros pontos do planeta, amplificadores que criam paredes densas de loops pré-concebidos ou criados no momento, sopros densos e pancadas secas, ecoadas, distorcidas até se renovarem no momento puro da construção de sentido, ou ausência dele.
“ParPar revelou-se como a derradeira subversão / perversão (…) o duo forjou algo que é completamente diferente de tudo o mais que hoje se está a fazer em Portugal(…)”
Rui Eduardo Paes, Jazz.pt
Blaise Siwula / Jorge Nuno
Saxophonist Blaise Siwula and guitarist Jorge Nuno are celebrating the release of their first duet cd- “Waterscapes” on Creative Sources with a short tour in Portugal this March 2017. The music of “Waterscapes” reflects the fluid creative flow of ideas when two like minded musicians meet.There is a magic here not unlike an ocean wave or a fountain. Discord releasing to concord, chaos to melody, all spontaneous compositions with meditative designs.
Blaise Siwula, born in Detroit, Michigan in 1950, has been involved with the arts for most of his life. Incorporating traditional musical scoring techniques and visual/graphics with spontaneous composition he has been honored to perform across the world.
Notable musicians/composers collaborations include: Cecil Taylor, Tan Dun, Peter Kowald, Perry Robinson and Katsuyuki Itakura.
Although primarily an alto saxophonist his current instrumentation includes: tenor/sop sax, bass/alto/sop clarinet and reed flutes.
“Multi-saxophone threat Blaise Siwula thrives in a world where the outré is routine. His musical language is based on bold explorations of tonality and structure, with unconventional concepts of musical ground.” Terrell Holmes New York Jazz Record Dec, 2016
Jorge Nuno, born in Lisbon, Portugal in 1971, musician in publishing activity since 1996, having belonged to several alternative-rock projects like Riddle, Lisamona, etc. Participating in two soundtracks Portuguese films.
