Portugal’s flagship experimental music festival, Semibreve, presented a series of notable performances this year, featuring artists such as Noémi Büchi, Tygapaw, Marta Salogni, Malcolm Pardon and Gustaf Broms, according to coverage by The Quietus. The event was documented visually by photographer Adriano Ferreira Borges, whose images captured the festival’s immersive atmosphere.
A memorable moment involved veteran composer Jocy de Oliveira observing a piano adrift at sea, a scene that echoed the metaphor of cultural erosion from her 2005 short film Noturno De Um Piano. The visual served as an allegorical backdrop to the festival’s experimental programming, underscoring the ongoing dialogue between sound and visual art.
