| Camila Nebbia // Gonçalo Almeida // Sylvain Darrifourcq When three singular voices converge in the volatile terrain of free jazz, boundaries dissolve and raw emotion takes center stage. In this electrifying trio, saxophonist Camila Nebbia (Argentina), bassist Gonçalo Almeida (Portugal), and percussionist Sylvain Darrifourcq (France) ignite a sonic ritual rooted in a tradition of liberatory, high-intensity improvisation music driven by urgency, rupture, and the search for new sonic truths. With an unrelenting commitment to intensity, the trio forges an ever-evolving dialogue where sound becomes matter, time bends, and silence gains gravitational weight. Every gesture be it whispered multiphonics, bowed metal, or overdriven arco, carries the tension of restraint and release. But it’s not all combustion. Within the fury lies a deep sensitivity to space and detail. Between explosive peaks, the music breathes, revealing microscopic textures and fractured melodies shaped by extended techniques: Nebbia’s vocalized saxophone cries and circular-breathed drones; Almeida’s prepared bass and subterranean growls; Darrifourcq’s fractured rhythms and sonic interventions, all serving a collective language of radical exploration. This trio doesn’t perform songs, they construct environments. Each set is a unique landscape of friction, collision, and resonance. Expect moments of brutal intensity, shimmering lyricism, and sonic disorientation. This is music on the edge of control, where vulnerability meets force, and where abstraction becomes profoundly human. ___________________________________ Martin Philadelpy is a composer, guitarist, songwriter, improvisational artist, and experimental musician. Dora Bleu is a composer, storyteller and experimental musician working in the dreamlike, uneven, and intimate, exploring the geopowers of the psyche. Together they work between composition and improvisation interweaving narrative and song, theater, poetry, guitar work and drone. Philadelpy composes songs and instrumental pieces for his own ensembles, as well as for dance theater and films and has set poems to music for songs by Robert Gernhardt, Hollace Metzger, Jane Le Croy, Thomas Nyx, Erich Pacher, and many others. Philadelphy has performed at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Saalfelden Jazz Festival, Klangspuren Schwaz, NYC Carnegie Hall, Donaufestival, and other venues large and small worldwide. Reviews of my work are available internationally. His own productions have been selected three times as “Recommended New Release” in NYC Jazzrecords magazine. www.philadelphy.at Dora Bleu is currently working with Zone Null (Burkhard Beins and Tony Eliah), and Uwe Moellhusen on storytelling projects. Her most recent release last year on the Syrphe label was in a trio with Periklis Tsoukalas and Cedrik Fermont. According to African Paper, this CD, titled The Dream Border, remains a “rapturous” work that unfolds its impact precisely through its alienations. The colleagues at Field Notes aptly described it as music that is “best understood as liminal; as a threshold between one world and another, [...] between pop songwriting and drone music.” (Translated from Deepl.) Das Album bleibt insgesamt ein “entrücktes” Werk, das gerade durch die Verfremdungen seine Wirkung entfaltet. Die Kollegen von Field Notes beschrieben es treffend als Musik, die “am besten als liminal verstanden wird; als Schwelle zwischen einer Welt und einer anderen, [...] zwischen Popsongwriting und Drone Music”. Dora's prior recordings included a full length LP infused with the guitar work of Marc Ribot, titled Fascism’s Intimacy and released on Drawing Room Records in May 2019. From this record, the track “The Obvious” was featured in the Wire Tapper in March 2021. |
