Povo que Canta, Michel Giacommeti

A não perder, com o Público, a partir de 22 de Novembro: Povo que Canta, a série produzida por Michel Giacometti para a RTP, exibida entre 1970 e 1974.

#Listening to Gavin Bryars, New York

Close to heaven. Or immersed on a deep ocean of percussion sounds, where undulating melodies guide you through mysterious aural adventures. Three amazing pieces made of tiny minimalistic details.  Pure delight!
