Bio
"Joao Filipe is a Portuguese drummer / percussionist and experimental musician with explorations and participations within several genres of music production. From punk-rock, industrial, electro-acoustic experimentalism, ambient, jazz, his influences seem as diverse as his work. Now, with his solo adventure, the idea is to explore to the maximum the percutive potencial of objects and unusual instruments, with techniques that are not very common. Almost as a mind game of tensions and empty spaces, his compositions flow along the improvised and the organized, layer by layer, until they reach a final form... or something that appears to be one!".........................................................................................................................................
