(C)OVID'S METAMORPHOSES BOOK-CD-DVD RELEASE BY MEAKUSMA _ 15.12.2023

I am thrilled to announce the release of “(C)OVID'S METAMORPHOSES”, an international experimental interdisciplinary ART project developed during the last 3 years, with the participation of 133 international artists (sound artists, film makers, writers, photographers, etc.), that was conceptualized and curated by Bernd Herzogenrath and Lasse-Marc Riek during and about the covid19 pandemic. It’s a gigantic broken telephone game / exquisite corpse, inspired by Ovid’s classic text “Metamorphoses”. I am very glad to have contributed to the project with a sound piece entitled “The Rod of Asclepius”, and to be representing Portugal alongside artists as Francisco López, Annea Lockwood, Thomas Köner, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), Lee Scratch Perry, Brandon LaBelle, Angélica Castello, Thelmo Cristovan, Jörg Piringer, and many more amazing artists. This huge ART project includes a box set with a 200 pages full color book, 7 CDs, and 2 data DVDs, and was recently released by the wonderful meakusma label. This is an extraordinary project, which probably represents, thus far, the biggest collective artistic meditation about the covid19 pandemic, as it proves that ART is one of The main keys and ways to resist and creatively metamorphose dramatic contexts and situations! Special thanks to Bernd Herzogenrath & Lasse-Marc Riek for the kind invitation!!!

FAUX NATUREL
FIRST REVIEW @ VITAL WEEKLY Nº 1363 _ 29.11.2022

Faux Naturel my recently released [14.11.2022] solo soundscape composition album by Unfathomless, got its first review by VITAL WEEKLY. Here's an excerpt of the review, to read the entire review check it @ VITAL WEEKLY Nº 1363
"I believe Pinto does a great job in these eight pieces, that act as one long piece of music. His processing is just enough, his sound choice is excellent, and his editing is superb. The soundscape takes you from nature into the city, and from then, it slowly alienates the listener. [...] I am told that Pinto works with surround sound installation pieces, and I can imagine that it works very well with this kind of delicate music based on field recordings. Also, in 'just' stereo, Pinto knows how to create tension and atmosphere. An excellent release. (FdW)"

After playing (mostly guitar) with several independent rock bands, in the beginning of the 90's, João Castro Pinto started his creative activity as a sound and intermedia artist in second half of the 90's. The main output of his artistic production comprehends the domains of sound art, experimental electroacoustic / tape music, sound design and intermedia research, in a trans-disciplinary perspective of confrontation, concerning digital media. His sound work ranges between: soundscape composition, radio art, dense droning, noise, electroacoustic, acousmatic, tape music and experimental electronic genres. He plays live electroacoustic music, with and without instrumentalists, as tape music / spatialization concerts. Castro Pinto is also a freelance sound designer working mainly with independent and underground films. Since 2002 he's been the artistic director and producer of the "Hertzoscópio - Experimental & Transdisciplinary Arts Festival" and the "Hertz_extend#1", both dedicated to the divulgation of contemporary experimental music, video-art and intermedia.

His academic path is reflected on his works as it also indicates which are the main artistic perspectives and ideas of his interest.
He graduated in Philosophy from the New University of Lisbon and is currently finishing his Ph.D. dissertation in Computer Music @ U.C.P. / C.I.T.A.R. - Research Centre for Science and Technology of the Arts.

João's fundamental artistic intent resides on the exploration and recreation of natural sound and visual elements that are abducted from their original context trough digital recording technologies, and then recreated in another context and space-time that intends to create a deep inner experience. The common denominator of the artistic goals of the pieces that he has presented thus far focuses on the intention of creating an intense sonic experience that provokes in the audience something similar to an existential glimpse that portrays the imperative need of searching for a way to access the ultimate inner-space, which is both intimate and trans-personal.
The symbolic and plastic research operated by J. Castro Pinto to achieve the referred goal, has a means to a different end than the research itself. At stake is a true medium that materializes itself in a modus operandi of distension that operates by serving as the deconstruction of the mechanical automatisms that, on a daily basis, constrict and subjugate the existential human point of view, by which, phenomenally, remain immobile and underdeveloped the operative processes of the perceptive consciousness and the conditions of possibility to access the inner-space. The path of the artistic experience that leads to the discovery and conquer of this inner-space (or that leads to the immersion in it), constitutes the center of the experimental & trans-disciplinary researches, practices/concerns of João Castro Pinto.

João Castro Pinto is a composer released and endorsed by MISO MUSIC PORTUGAL's - MIC.PT (Portuguese Music Research & Information Centre) & MISO RECORDS.
