o lugar do silêncio | odurzeni światłem

Sitting on a grass for a while today. It felt like being embraced by summer and autumn at the same time. New places. Old friendships. Sun and Moon. And a music package waiting for me in the evening. The beauty of August. Time of contradictions. Silent place. Bossa velha.

on the search for female emcees

This summer could not have been better. My itinerary for the upcoming autumn has been updated and so has the concert calendar. Bliss. And gratefulness. Kudos to Akua Naru. KUDOS. I am listening.

au au au ... autumn

AU stands for autumn? Absolutely. I'm so happy to see AU's sounds turning again into another great vision. Such pleasurably summery, fuzzy and warm. Solid Gold from Both Lights is out now on Leaf/Hometapes. (via Stereogum)



Please meet the director of the video Roberto Ortu and see more videos of AU here.

indian summer

Indian summer might have actually been the case today. The warmth of the day was not the one of  the autumn season. Thanks to good people around. Spirit uplifted. Treasures found. Read more about the the Canon Blue project here and enjoy again the artwork by Hvass and Hannibal.

consider this a sign
I am alone in a long, long line
and even if you could feel alright
there's a reason you never could seize it
(...)
I won't make you anymore tired
I don't have the heart to say that
no, you won't ever reach me
it's always like before
I'm trying hard not to try so hard

autumn apples

First apples of the autumn season have just turned into a delicious jam to be shared with those kind souls that are around. Autumn? So soon? I dream of white, white pavements and skies. Scorching white. Insane. Insanely beautiful. Efterklang's Apples. Shared. Cold? No. Geometrical. Spacious. Endless.

Please meet the authors of the artwork Hvass & Hannibal.
