GNOD + João Pais Filipe
The encounter took place during one of the last editions of Milhões de Festa festival. While visiting one of the exhibitions the festival organised that year, GNOD were intrigued by a gong in the shape of a skateboard, forged by the Porto-based percussionist for the occasion. What began as curiosity quickly developed into a plan for collaboration. Three days of rehearsals in Porto gave rise to the basic structures that were explored in an incendiary concert in the city, which were later recorded over four days in João Pais Filipe’s workshop, resulting in a powerful portrait of the sparks that flew and the fire they created.
