On Kierkegaard’s Socratic teachings for millennials

(OR: Remembering 181 years of Gilleleje) — Today is the 181th anniversary of Kierkegaard’s trip to Gilleleje. On the 1st of August 1835 the young philosopher had another one of his walks to think about his own life. This apparent simple trip (described on the AA journal) turned out to be one of the most important life…

Adventures in Wonderland Almanac (2016) - creativity awakens

A new era begins: the awakening of creativity, the inevitable need for a new world, the increasing tendency to regain (lost ¿) balance. Imagining what would happen if things were different, remembering how beautiful that stone was, when suspended in front of the illuminated wall, planning to freeze that fire…

Adventures in Wonderland Almanac (2016) - O despertar da criatividade

Uma nova era se inicia: o despertar da criatividade, a necessidade inevitável de um mundo novo, a crescente tendência para recuperar o equilíbrio (perdido¿). Imaginar o que aconteceria se as coisas fossem diferentes, lembrar o quão bela era aquela pedra suspensa na parede iluminada, planear congelar aquele pássaro em chamas…

“João Filipe/João Guimarães (2012)” Review

“João Filipe/João Guimarães” é o nome do primeiro disco (salvo erro) da dupla homónima na editora Sonoscopia. Mais, mas muito mais, do que um percussionista e um saxofonista, estes dois entes são músicos que pensam e agem através do som. Articuladamente exploram as “duas dimensões gêmeas” — o espaço e…

“Hugo Trindade - Départ (2014)” Review

“Omar, tens aqui o meu álbum. Gostava que o ouvisses.” Deliciado, agarro o disco e abro-o. Estou a ver as faixas, os intérpretes e os… Mas onde foi o Hugo? Ele estava mesmo agora aqui.

“João Mortágua - Janela (2014)” Review

Abro as portadas da janela, dou um passo atrás. Atrás de mim sinto o espaço que agora se ilu-anima. À minha frente a janela está aberta. Sinto que, de um impulso me posso atirar e voar através dela. Lá fora, plano como uma pluma no ar, a girar sobre mim próprio. Ainda estou cá dentro, inspiro, suspiro, expiro. Estou agora terno, tudo volta a ter ordem. Aproximo-me da janela e vejo… A Janela de João Mortágua está aberta. Pouco importa se estamos do lado de dentro ou de fora. Ela existe e está lá. Mas o maior deleite está quando nos aproximamos dela. Primeiro notamos as inscrições na portada, depois vemos as pecinhas presas com elásticos, e por fim ouvimos o mundo de João Mortágua a voar pela janela.

Iceberg Tale

an interlude from “< > | detachment, projection and imaginary” — photography by Joaquim Ramos Iceberg Tale Drifting on the deep-blue sea, there is a beautiful protrusion, frostily white. Quiet and gently, I approach her on my little orange boat. I invite her for a walk. And so we float, aimlessly, on a slow dance. Little by little, we get in the mood. Below…

Miguel Zenón’s music is like a spinning electron!
