What can happen when 4 saxophonists from very different trajectories meet in space-time? When do asteroids collide in the range of sounds projected by powerful breaths? The answer is sound: music!
SÃO PAULO CREATIVE 4 emits the spark of musical creation in its purest state and that reaches us through powerful rhythmic and melodic waves where our imagination is allowed to fly and the soft emotion of the note suspended in the throat lands on planets that shiver the skin.
Composed by musicians Ivo Perelman, Livio Tragtenberg, Rogério Costa and Manu Falleiros, São Paulo Creative 4 explodes in short Supernova in live improvisation in vibrant performance.
We followed their sonic trajectories in and out of surprising black holes, a musical encounter, and what an encounter!Livio Tragtenberg, 2022.
