Paul Skomsvold (Former Selves) creates lo-fi cosmologies from cheap keyboards and a cloud of delay. From his home in Oakland, California, he has produced a discography that recalls the best moments of Brian Eno and the nostalgia of a Boards of Canada without beats.

The contingent of Portuguese artists performing tonight is a faithful representation of the imaginary home-grown axis of Porto- Coimbra-Lisbon. From the capital comes Lace Bows, a project that combines the sonic emissions of Joana Francisco with the manipulation of samples by Rui N. (The Sound of Typewriters, Sunflare). Lace Bows’ music is unparalleled, sometimes reminding us of a drone J Dilla, sometimes taking us back to the wave of hypnagogic pop explorers.

Pedro Rios, the author of an already extensive discography as Branches, is travelling from the city of Invicta and leads us through a maritime dream made up of submerged instruments, were it not for the sea being the land of his sound garden. Live, the project also includes Hugo Gomes, from the Sensible Soccers.

The Exhalers is the latest project by João Costa Gonçalves, a musician from Coimbra who is responsible for a myriad of other projects nestled in Portugal’s darkest musical underground. Mediafired, JCCG, Sofa Pits, Spinning Beach Ball of Death, Lancil, or Um Bongo are some of the many pseudonyms João Gonçalves has used to sign records over the last few years. He has released on netlabels and labels such as Mimi Records, MPD – música pop desempregada, or the North American labels Beer on the Rug and Chill Mega Chill.
