The Construction Of Time VITORJOAQUIM.PT. CD/DL

A Portuguese arts scene fixture since the mid-’80s, Joaquim is an electronic composer who, like film director Werner Herzog, is searching for some kind of “ecstatic truth” in music. He manipulates, piano and electronics alongside Gulf War radio broadcasts and João Silva’s trumpet to create a sonic world, caught between past and present, that makes you reevaluate your listening space.
