TRÓPICOS
Solo performance with Knurl and voice
This project has won the Music Award prize of Alpine Fellowship (2024)
Trópicos is a multicultural music performance in which I combine my musical instrument, Knurl, with songs written in four different languages (Portuguese, Spanish , English and Dutch). Through this music, storytelling, and performance, I share reflections with the audience about our current globalised world and its virtual relationships, highlighting the positive impact of self-made technologies in emerging countries of tropical regions. In this project, Knurl, in addition to being a sound design tool, symbolizes a tool for autonomy and creative independence.
