On the 28th and 30th of June, we invite you to experience a soup of movement, matter, colors, and sound. An interactive show designed to shake up everyday life in a multisensory environment that will make the whole family laugh while still giving you chills. A wordless dialogue about freedom and the power of creativity in the 21st century, disguised as a puppet show.
Poncili Creación is an interdisciplinary duo composed of Puerto Rican brothers, Pablo and Efrain Del Hierro. They are known for their experimental approach to artistic creation, using a wide range of media such as sculpture, performance, video, and installation. Their work often incorporates playful and absurd elements while also addressing serious issues like cultural identity, consumerism, and environmental degradation.

In 2021, Sistro collaborated with Mario Klingemann (aka Quasimondo), who created a music video specifically for the band using a vintage video mixer. He then utilized feedback loops and a process that Klingemann calls “Neural Edit,” which uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to correlate raw video material with sound.
This collaboration resulted in a NFT videoart that you can check here: https://knownorigin.io/gallery/1263000-sistro-track-9
Music by Sistro. Mixed by Tito Silva. Mastered by Pedro Augusto. Video by Mario Klingemann.
Sistro are Nuno Oliveira on modified guitar and percussions, Tito Silva on synths and drum machine, and Oficinas TK on noise static and sampling.

Sistro LP OUT NOW! After a long incubation period, Sistro’s debut album sees the light of day and is now fully available at our bandcamp page and soon in our favourite record shops. This project germinated casually and unintentionally during various excursions to megalithic monuments in the hills and mountains of northern Portugal, culminating in an unusual two-day musical experimentation session in Esposende in September 2019. In this two-day session, codenamed “Arménio Sessions,” the trio explored a sound based on ocean sounds, electronic beats, electric noises, and the strings of a prepared guitar. Channeling the power of the elements and the mysticism of the place in the form of a musical experience.

CCCOP TV by Favela Discos
A making of and presentation video of Favela Discos' residency at Galeria do Sol (Porto), that occured in september 2023. In this residency, Favela Discos proposed the creation of a series of TV shows, transforming for this purpose the gallery space into a TV studio - the CCCOP TV - where were done several filmings, concert recordings, rehearsals, and also a kitchen! to make possible the filming of a cooking show. The presentation of the residency consisted in the opening of the CCCOP TV studios to the public, with the happening and filming of a series of live concerts, and the presentation of the TV shows created before, that could be watched from the comfort of a sofa, on a television disposed in the exhibition room.
We thank the people from Galeria do Sol for the invitation, availability and sympathy, and all the friends that in some way or another participated in the project, either by donating their image and soul, or by their presence. April 9, 2023
Fusão, by our friend Henrique Apolinário, is OUT NOW on Favela Discos bandcamp page. Fusão is a series of themes created between instruments and massive spaces. It’s a piercing amalgam of voices and their reverberant replies, of simple narratives composed of extremes, soothing baths of harmonic masses, and dissonant shredding of distorted voices and digital corruption. This object is the result of 3 days throwing sound at the walls of a gym, molding it’s reflexes, and another 100 days in short and dry walls, remembering and distorting this memory.
Recorded mainly live on February 21st 2019, and residually dead between 2019 and 2020.
Composition / Performance, Recording, and Mastering by Henrique Apolinário Mixed by David Ole Cover and Graphic Design by Mariya Nesvyetaylo

VIVE LES CÔNES DE FRANCE
The eagerly awaited debut album from the fabulous duo is finally out now! Check it out on our Bandcamp! Jean-Luc Mocard met Jean Ronde in September of 2009, while working at the CASIO Palaiseau factory, near Paris. Before meeting each other they both played solo tours throughout Europe and Asia, but eventually their furious passion for collecting 80’s keyboards pushed them together to form a duo. Now based in Porto by a matter of pure chance, Vive Les Cônes has become a Casio explosion, the fuel of a dancing machine that never stops, cherry picking and referencing their favourite moments from dance and pop music culture. “De France”, their first album is the product of years of training and mastering the perfect CASIO playing technique, the album collects in one spectacular place all the meticulously crafted tracks that set dance floors on fire throughout the world. The beautiful cover was made by Dr Urânio. November 1, 2022
BROCOLI-RAVE!!!! NOUVEAU VIDEO!! VIVE LES CÔNES!!! Jean-Luc Mocard met Jean Ronde, in September of 2009 in a CASIO factory in Palaiseau, in the Paris surroundings. They both played on solo tours throughout Europe and Asia, but eventually their furious passion for collecting 80’s keyboards pushed them together to form a duo. Now based in Porto by a matter of pure chance, Vive Les Cônes has become a Casio explosion, the fuel of a dancing machine that never stops, cherry picking and referencing their favourite moments from dance and pop music culture. “De France”, their first album is the product of years of training and mastering the perfect CASIO playing technique, the upcoming album collects in one spectacular place the meticulously CASIOED tracks that set dance floors throughout on fire. Brocoli-Rave is already a hymn for the fans of the duo, a classic from VLC’s performances, and now it is the album’s first single, featuring a delicious video. September 26, 2022 OUT NOW DIES LEXIC - LEXICON HALL Lexicon Hall the long overdue first album by the Portuguese duo of intrepid sound explorers Dies Lexic (Inês Tartaruga Água & Xavier Paes). Like some sort of digital ayahuasca, the album is an intense psychedelic journey guided by drums and harshly bowed strings, channelling voices from other planes and fusing them with Dies Lexic very own distinctive voice. If you close your eyes hard enough you can probably see Tony Conrad waving hello in the middle of a dark jungle that is inhabited by tribes of our ancestors. Listen to the album and pre-order the lovely vinyl on our bandcamp page! Have a good psychedelic Monday. September 13, 2022
NEW SINGLE / VIDEOCLIP PRAYING MACHINE from the upcoming album Lexicon Hall by the Porto based duo Dies Lexic formed by Inês Tartaruga Água & Xavier Paes
