He
has been playing the violin for 30 years and in that time has played all
genres of music ranging from contemporary music to free jazz and improvised
music, live and in the studio.
His main interest shifted towards contemporary improvised and composed
music.
The relationship with his instruments is focused in sonic and textural
elements.
Electronic music was an early influence on his approach to violin playing,
which challenges traditional romantic concepts of the violin/viola through
use of preparations and micro tuning.
Active in different settings on the Portuguese scene for free improvised
music, both as a collaborator and in leading his own groups.
Music for Dance, Cinema, Video and Performance.
Has created the record label Creative Sources Recordings in 1999, which
mainly concentrates on releasing experimental and electro-acoustic music.
