Program notes:

[ENG] The musical speech is certainly conditioned and, at same time, influenced by the sounds, rhythm and the continuous flux of my Portuguese language/status. Based on this purpose, I started my research about how I can relate my speech language with my musical language. Maybe they are already related but I want to understand how I can potentiate this presumptive link.

With this work I set myself to recreate gestures focusing in global idea about chaos in a crowd. The language is the mote; the language is my primary element of identity and with it I can try to find a kind of musical world to give voice for my personal sound world.
