SCOTOMA CINTILANTE
Portugal | Performance-concert | New creation
Musician of sonic and performative visceralness, trained in visual arts, producer, many-faced creator Jonathan Saldanha is a shaman master of new technologies and artistic languages in a world of post-production where futurology has tribal and ritualistic roots. Jazz, hip-hop, electronica, gestures of composition between music, performance and visual arts, Jonathan moves in a permanent inventive reform and re-signifying of what already exists in the world. After pieces such as “Oxidation Machine” (2016), “O Poço” (2017) or “SØMA” (2018), and with a multidisciplinary path that took him to the stage in Primavera Sound, Sónar, OUT. FEST, Palais de Tokyo and others, he now presents in BoCA “Scotoma Cintilante”, performance-concert for a mixed choir of blind people with three dimensional graphical sheet music.
The surface of a sculpture-machine is the inanimate matter that operates the mutation over the voice in time. Coming from a world-vision where tactile relations with inanimate matter is the primordial source of sound building, this performance-concert submits itself between matter and animates, pre-language and surface, operating the interception of four distinct axes: the human vocal apparatus; the mediation of an haptic language; refraction as a tactile mechanism of time mutation and rematerialization; and the camouflaging of the word by voice. It is a project of research that arises out of an invitation by School of Arts – UCP for the development of a vocal piece that reflects the archetypes of the passion of Christ, developed in artistic residence.
