SYNOPSIS
A concert-film where Bruno de Almeida is joined by Tó Trips and Pedro Gonçalves (from Dead Combo) in a performance-exploration of the iconic sounds and imagery of Amália Rodrigues. Using manipulated images from archival footage, the piece is built around the deconstruction and re-editing of Amália's music adding electronic processed sounds. The juxtaposition of Tó Trips and Pedro Gonçalves' guitars with Amália's voice, added by Bruno's use of extrapolated turntables, proposes an original mix of experimental music and Fado.
