Red is an extreme tone, the chromatic colour resembling the hue of blood. Extreme, because our eyes capture red on the longest wavelengths of light discernible by the human vision. For longer wavelengths we are below red and our naked eyes are unable to see anything. The music played by the portuguese RED trio can have this dual behavior. Organic, like the vital fluid running on our veins, it can supply substance for a wide range of sensations. At the same time it's extremely free. Free improvisation, as free music and all art forms should be. Free ideas, free speech. From near silence to full noise, a wide spectrum of aural emotions. Rodrigo Pinheiro (piano), Hernani Faustino (double bass), Gabriel Ferrandini (drums) will play live at Jazz em Agosto festival, next Saturday 14th of August . RED Trio's debut CD is out now on Clean Feed .

Ned Rothenberg will be in Lisbon next month, for Jazz em Agosto 2010, together with Evan Parker's Electro-Acoustic Ensemble .

The Eleventh Hour is the fourth album from Evan Parker’s Electro-Acoustic Ensemble. Computer technology and sampling sharing a sound field with a range of acoustic instruments, where free improvisation copes with real-time sound processing.  Architectural music: shapes, structures, ideas and colours. Dense, huge and imposing. Powerful. Evan Parker’ ever-expanding  Electro-Acoustic Ensemble will play live in Lisbon, at Jazz em Agosto 2010 .

A mash-up of jazz, rock, electronica, cumbia, Argentinian folklore and experimental music. Keep or eyes (and ears!) on Crammed Disks: "Pesebre", Axel Krygier's first release outside Argentina, will be released next September.

O outro lado do jazz chega a Lisboa no próximo mês de Agosto. O festival da Fundação Gulbenkian começa no dia 6 com a dupla John Surman e  Jack DeJohnette , encerrando duas semanas depois, Domingo 15, com o colectivo transnacional e plurigeracional Circulasione Totale Orchestra . Entre estas duas datas, o cartaz da 27ª edição do Jazz em Agosto , continua o trabalho ímpar de divulgação das músicas criativas da nossa contemporaneidade. Destacaremos a programação do JeA 2010 ao longo das próximas semanas. Arrancamos com cinco questões colocadas ao programador do festival, Rui Neves . JeA 2010, "o outro lado do Jazz". Bright side or dark side ? O JeA é um festival de Jazz underground ? Não de todo, creio, embora haja sempre nas programações o que possa ser considerado underground , que é, de resto, uma designação datada: hoje, a bem dizer, não existe quase nada underground , tudo está recuperado e não é possível guardar segredos; o termo apareceu nos meados do séc. XX e fico...

From Google´s official blog : “Life in a Day,” a historic cinematic experiment that will attempt to do just that: document one day, as seen through the eyes of people around the world. On July 24, you have 24 hours to capture a snapshot of your life on camera. You can film the ordinary -- a sunrise, the commute to work, a neighborhood soccer match, or the extraordinary -- a baby’s first steps, your reaction to the passing of a loved one, or even a marriage. Kevin Macdonald, the Oscar-winning director of films such as The Last King of Scotland, Touching the Void and One Day in September, will then edit the most compelling footage into a feature documentary film, to be executive-produced by Ridley Scott, the director behind films like Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Thelma & Louise, Blade Runner and Robin Hood. LG Electronics is supporting "Life in a Day" as a key part of its long-standing "Life’s Good" campaign and to support the creation of quality online cont...
