Henrik Ferrara / Bug Snapper ! live @ Oficina Cobalto
On the 5th of february, 2023, I had the pleasure to play a solo show @ Oficina Cobalto after the excelent performance of Bug Snapper. In this show, I had the opportunity to play some new sounds which will be available with the “ATAVISTICO” album release, but I also had a few moments to just improvise and enjoy. Also, this was one of the first times where I’ve used Crescente in a live music performance open to the public, which made it really special. What also made the show important to me was the process of organising and designing the event together with Bug Snapper. I had full creative freedom to come up with a poster and other graphic materials for social network sharing, and so I did: using a technique I very much enjoy, which consists in drawing with ink pens and then bringing these drawings to the digital realm for further distortions and manipulations. The sketch ideas were based on results provided by a Stable Diffusion model after given a combination of carefully selected text prompts.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible, Rui Santos, Francisca Dores, João Abbot, Ricardo M. Vieira, Teresa Zagalo
