Primeiro, combines experimental electronics with samples of acoustic instruments, synthesizers and field recordings made by him, exploring the dynamic relationship between sound and territories. He develops intricate, multi-layered soundscapes that evoke a sense of tranquility and meticulous craftsmanship. Additionally, he organizes the Feed the River festival, which explores our connection to bodies of water as sentient entities that require our care and nourishment, and the use of sound to foster meaningful transformative dialogue. Last year’s event took place in Hamburg, and this year it will be held in Chemnitz and Berlin. Sharing the festival trailer here:
