<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/861116">Sonoridades Líquidas [Liquid Sounds]</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/ruipenha">Rui Penha</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<p>Wonderful work in sculpting sound into beautiful handmade electronic-acoustical instruments is pouring out of Portugal. Now we get to see more of that work &#8211; and if you are in Portugal, you can share in person at a new event.</p>
<p>The Handmade Music project and community has found its second home &#8211; Porto, Portugal, at the massive Casa da Música! The first event will be held Tuesday, July 21. (<a href="http://handmademusic.noisepages.com/2009/07/handmade-music-now-in-porto-portugal-casa-da-musica-21-july/">Full announcement, English/Português</a>). </p>
<blockquote><p><em>De hardware a software feito em casa até circuit bending, kits personalizados ou instrumentos acústicos originais, todos estão convidados a aparecer na <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_da_Música">Casa da Música</a> pelas 21h30 para montagem de instrumentos. Pelas 22h abrimos o evento ao público geral – a entrada é livre e recomenda-se -, ocupando a Digitópia e a zona do bar do Foyer Sul. Contamos convosco!</em>
</p></blockquote>
<p>To celebrate the new party, organizer <a href="http://www.ruipenha.pt/">Rui Penha</a> sends over a survey of some of the instruments and sculpture that are being homegrown in Porto. And yes, even first-time-creator high school students can make fantastic work (see after the jump). At top: </p>
<blockquote><p>An interactive installation made for Casa da Música &#8211; Porto, Portugal &#8211; with João Ricardo de Barros Oliveira and Luís Girão. Shown here is the algorithmic composition and synthesis patch I made in Max/MSP and the Arduino-based sensor system, co-developed with Luís Girão.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>This robotic Hang player is called Lula (Squid).<br />
It was, designed, built and its algorithm was created with a group of teenagers participating in a four-day workshop called OrCA &#8211; Orquestra de Computadores e Autómatos (OrCA &#8211; Orchestra of Computers and Robots), at Casa da Música &#8211; Porto.<br />
It was made with picaxe, servos and ultrasonic sensors. </p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><em>João Ricardo constrói instrumentos-esculturas a partir de materiais das mais diversas origens: pedaços de metal, bocados de madeira corroídos pelo tempo, objectos usados e danificados, provenientes de contentores do lixo, da rua, da natureza. As esculturas têm sons complexos, poéticos, muito diferentes do habitual e são um desafio à imaginação, aos sentidos e às convenções daquilo que é um instrumento ou daquilo que é música.</p>
<p>A ExposiSom [Correntes Sonoras] explora diversos espaços da Casa da Música e é concebida como um percurso de descoberta da arquitectura e da relação do som com o espaço que ele habita.</em></p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><em>A ExposiSom [Sonoridades Líquidas] estabelece uma ponte entre a escultura sonora, a música e a arte digital e permite a descoberta do edifício da Casa da Música através de um percurso onde o público interage com o conteúdo sonoro, transformando assim a Casa num mega-instrumento. A ExposiSom [Sonoridades Líquidas] usa um conjunto de cerca de 50 objectos idênticos [esculturas sonoras] que servem de «interface» com um computador. Explora-se a ideia de elicitar sons ou algoritmos que geram som, a partir de um estímulo muito simples: a vibração causada por uma gota de água que cai sobre uma pele de um instrumento de percussão.</em>
