The project combines three different characters of musicians who find each other on the level of improvisation, experiment and make each other resonate. The components consist of (Izabella Effenberg) sounds from rare instruments (including glass harp, waterphone, array mbira), (Wolfgang Eckert) electronic composed music based on sounds of rare instruments and fieldrecordings and (Juan Pablo Villa) experimental, multi-layered singing.

An improvisation with its own light and unique instrument. This piece became the MOMENTO – a Moment in my heart. The Moment. The Mountain. The Shepherd walking and making music. There it was my Portuguese root trying to recover this memory close to Nature. Today in Portugal, the "Chocalho" is considered Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, due to its tendency to extinguish itself and this important bond. There was a time when man knew, cared and thanked for each animal he ate at his family table. It was not so long ago, remember?
Alpha, the mature son of his Mother Nature who was not Her first manifestation of Life, but the first to understand some of Mothers deepest mysteries. Universal Mother of all Life, who forgives everything to Her son, giving him everything he will need to live. Even a virus if so. Until the day when She herself needs Healing, for so many pains that She receives from this rational and intelligent son. Ours is the power to crystallize all Her beauty and health.
