Miguell Azguime has, over his many years as a composer, percussionist and poet, intertwined the words with the music and the music with the words. For the first time, Miguel Azguime has brought together in a single recital a compilation of his musical theatre and sound poetry works with live electronics.
Composed and performed by Miguel Azguime, "O Ar do Texto Opera a Forma do Som Interior" (the air in the text operates the form of the inner sound) revolves around words (words as meaning and words as sounds) and around the gestures of writing, which can be regarded as instrumental, and thus musical gestures!
Here the instruments - which may be his voice, percussion, table, pen or paper - are used as an extension of his body and a projection of the sound of words.
"The air in the text operates the form of the inner sound" lasts about 55 minutes and is entirely built on 7 poems by Miguel Azguime:
