About me:
The Beautiful Schizophonic is the pseudonym of Portuguese sound designer Jorge Mantas. Starting this moniker in 2004, the artist soon developed his own vision of drone music through the composition of shimmering melodic layers, creating a delicate web of micro-textures and undulating waves of sounds. In records or in live performances, The Beautiful Schizophonic is exploring the affective resonance of psychological and physical environments around the listener. “Musicamorosa” (cd Crónica, 2007), the debut album, was somehow a groundbreaker in the genre, combining elegant multilayered drones with an overall sensual but at the same time mysterious ambience. It defined the musical style of the artist and established an unusual romantic thematic, developed on a more conceptual level. “Erotikon” (cd Crónica, 2009) went further on this intense imagery of audio seduction, with its digital post-orchestral drones. The pure ecstatic bliss of love is best represented on the album in themes such as “Bambilàny” and “Aysha”, with the ethereal vocals of Christina Vantzou (part of The Dead Texan) giving a sweet aftertaste. The collaboration with Japanese composer and multi-instrumentalist Yui Onodera, “Radiance” (cd Basses Frequences, 2009), was another highlight of the discography, blending entwined textures, melancholic pianos and the daydream realism of environmental recordings. The Beautiful Schizophonic has also performed live in festivals or solo in Portugal and England (ICA London, Casa da Música Porto, Sonic Scope Teatro Maria Matos Lisboa, etc.), composed soundtracks for films and created audio-visual installations. More works in the making for a promising future in sound.

FATES - MURKY CIRCUITS
OUT NOW!
PRESS REACTIONS
"Nebulous post-industrial soundscapes constantly tweaked and realigned to create one of the most original electronic records of the year to date. 4.5/5" - THE MILK FACTORY
"Literally one in a million; tweaking and meshing uncommon sounds to create one of the most original electronic pieces I have heard all year. Abstract art for the ears most certainly." - AW MUSIC
"A post-glitch triumph that goes by quickly but not without making one’s head spin." - CYCLIC DEFROST
"Murky Circuits sounds like a highly caffeinated robot took over a decrepit Radio Shack and had its way with anything it could grab." - CHUBBY JONES
"Dizzying and compelling." - BRAINWASHED
