Filipa Santos | Miguel Moreira
Now Swim
Guitarist Miguel Moreira and saxophonist Filipa Santos will be performing their new album, NOW SWIM, live.
"Over more than ten years of collaboration, Filipa Santos and Miguel Moreira have developed not only a performative rapport, but a system of shared listening that goes beyond the logic of call-and-response. What is heard here is an open formal ontological morphology: the structures are neither predetermined nor narratively teleological; they emerge through the accumulation and transformation of spectral densities. Two bodies, a shared vibratory field."
"The album’s title encapsulates its philosophical dimension.
Now Swim.
Swimming implies accepting instability. It implies trusting the medium that sustains without offering firm ground. It implies recognising that transformation is not dramatic – it is continuous.
This album does not seek monumentality. It seeks internal coherence. It does not dramatise risk; it inhabits it."
“Ethnomusicologically, this album occupies a hybrid territory that resists categorisation. Contemporary jazz, European improvisation, traditional Portuguese memory, experimental electronica – all these elements coexist, but none dominates.” – Vítor Rua
