Bruno Parrinha

DIGIPACK EDITION

Assuming the leadership of the band, Bruno Parrinha named this trio after the translation of his name to English (Parrinha in English: VINE LEAF).The partnership with guitarist Luís Lopes was already being worked on in the “Garden” trio (also released by Clean Feed) exploring in depth the personal aesthetics of each instrumentalist with a possible greater approximation to total freedom, free from any influence. This time with drummer João Valinho instead of Ricardo Jacinto on cello, the work continues in the same direction, taking into account the difference in timbre and rhythmic approach. In this new context, the premise consists of a narrative, composed in real time, based on the duality of lyrical and prosaic discourse. Without premeditation, beyond a vague declaration of initial intention, the music reveals itself with the suggestions of the three musicians carried away by emotion and echoic memory.

TALES OF THE SENSES are episodes sung in troubadour style, improvisations of a fictional, lyrical reality, focused on details that are positioned between figuration and abstraction, all based on the senses. Stories that evolve from the body of the path, in the beauty of the words that come together to express the experience of the search for the object of the end for which they are intended.
