“Manoel”, the fourth LP by
Sensible Soccers, is based on
new soundtracks composed for
two films by Manoel de Oliveira:
“Douro, Faina Fluvial” (Working
on the Douro River) (1931) and
“O Pintor e a Cidade” (The
Painter and the City) (1956).
Sensible Soccers sought
inspiration from the director’s
universe and the distinctive
way that he looked at the city
of Porto to create the rhythm
and atmosphere of a series of
compositions that have very
different identities - ranging from
ambient to techno, through jazz
or dub, in a game of alternations
between pop music, melancholy
and experimentalism. The work
will be presented live during
Westway LAB, as a film-concert,
in dialogue with the films.
