Description

Stream of research and electroacoustic sound intervention, Banha da Cobra starts from the sonic imaginary of handcrafted, ritualistic and traditional activities and landscapes. The compositions are made as sound ruins, based on an ecology between the sustainability of the sound nature of the found – structures, places, objects, etc. – and their appropriation and transformation. The collecting inherent in this project of archaeological character is complemented with processes of alchemical manipulation like musical creation in real time.

On Mãe D’Água, Banha da Cobra present a live recording of their concert/performance on a 4×4 channels system at Mãe d’Água, 21st of September 2018 within the context of Lisboa Soa festival.

Mãe D’Água (Mother of Water) is an old water reservoir located in the center of Lisbon. It used to be the main reservoir for Lisbon being fed by a massive 19th Century aqueduct.
