2021.11.18 Projeto Sonoscopia / Guimarães Jazz

In its last three editions, Guimarães Jazz unfolded a new dimension of knowledge of contemporary music, devoted to the exploration of jazz’s most tangent territories in which the original practices and ideas propagated by radical movements, proposing the abolition of the frontiers between sounds, were inaugurated by seminal composers of the history of music of the twentieth century, such as Luigi Russolo, John Cage or Karlheinz Stockhausen, are somatized by classical tradition. A collective of artists and musicians affiliated with this disruptive aesthetical current according to which every available media (sound, image and language) can be used in the production of sound discourses, Sonoscopia proposes in 2021 a duo for non-conventional instruments and prepared piano, formed by Henrique Fernandes and Joana Sá, two artists who for the last fifteen years have been consolidating, with discretion, integrity and originality, their own artistic trajectories in the margins of the consensual formats promoted by the musical industry.

A graduate from ESMAE who began his studies in doublebass during his adolescence, and despite his first professional efforts in the context of the conventional circuits of classical music, Henrique Fernandes began early in his artistic trajectory to get involved with the experimental/improvised/multidisciplinary music scene that germinated in Porto during the first decade of the third millennium. This particular movement, of which Fernandes was a pivotal figure, congregated several other elements coming from many different musical backgrounds (heavy-metal, industrial rock, hip-hop, dub) and projected some of the most interesting projects and musicians of that period, such as Jonathan Uliel Saldanha, Gustavo Costa or João Pais Filipe. After that period of intense activity, integrated in projects such as trans-national collective Mécanosphère or the jazz-core band Lost Gorbachevs, among many others, or in collaboration with some influential musicians of contemporary music (such as Can’s former vocalist Damo Suzuki or percussionist Fritz Hauser), Henrique Fernandes began to focus mainly on the creation of new instruments and sound installations and, since then, his work, both under his own name or in the context of Sonoscopia, of which he is one of the founders, have been consistently presented In art exhibitions or in performances in Portugal and all around the globe.


A pianist, improviser and composer, Joana Sá works predominantly in the fields of New Music and contemporary music. Author of a vast and impacting body of work, which she recorded and presented at some of the most prestigious venues both in Portugal and internationally, Joana Sá’s multifaceted creations include the trilogy for piano solo “À escuta |o aberto” (2010-2019), that according to her own words is her most complex work and the central theme of her doctoral thesis, which she concluded last year. Among her collaborative projects we may highlight her relation of more than two decades of artistic complicity with guitarist Luís J Martins in several groups of variable geometry, the duo with Greek singer Savina Yannatou and the collaboration with visual artist Rita Sá. Besides her specifically artistic activity, characterized by its transversality, interdisciplinarity and multidimensionality, Joana Sá is also a committed researcher and academic, and she also develops community projects, organizing and monitoring residencies and seminaries promoting music as a form of social integration and of consolidation of memory.
