Evento: Golden Oriole + Victoria

Terra Incógnita takes the idea of ​​travel and expedition to propose a transdisciplinary artistic project that merges with the island of São Miguel and its communities. Based on a challenge addressed to artists of different artistic languages ​​to think musically and performatically a specific territory, it proposes, at its first moment, the artistic residency of Golden Oriole + Victoria.

At the base, a selected and secret hiking trail to be activated with site-specific musical creations and performative acts. Being both the inspiration source for the artistic residencies and the presentation stage for the works to be developed, the trails will be one of the main artists of the project.

Golden Oriole

It’s difficult to define the sound universe designed by the experimental duo Golden Oriole. Composed by drummer Thore Warland and guitarist Kristoffer Riis they have been presenting an impressively original mix of math rock and electronic music, inhabited by the dense black textures of the drone, the energy of kraut and a peculiar load of noise. A sonic attack in its purest state.

Victoria

Francisco Madureira and Paulo Lopes are the musicians responsible for all the music Victoria sings. Not that the themes are about them, but about the reality that surrounds them and that they distill through the fictional character they created to head up a musical quest they have been developing.
