Ships on a Desert :
"I accidentally started this piece, with such a simple word as 'ships', by visualizing it 'on a desert', then it has slowly come up to me to narrate its navigation, but I involved lots of different linguistic images inside, like 'industry', 'flames', 'coconut', 'raining', or 'dancing girls', to provoke contrast among the landscapes. After my improvised words which happen to pop out of my mouth having been recorded, I even discover myself further by hearing them later. This piece is another example where the double-bassist Miguel Leiria Pereira shows his extraordinary talent and versatility as a musician, and I have to confess that I've got chill from his performance during the whole session."
