Program Notes
poderias afogar-te, mas não queres is an exercise in the musical exploration of two very different notions of freedom: firstly, that which, appearing individually free, conforms to the choices available in its context, serving the collective purpose of articulating it; secondly, that which, revealing a will through action, ends up reconfiguring the very context that offers it its only route to meaning. In a permanent fine-tuning of individual contributions that weave a collective, music - like society - thus lives first and foremost from the resonance and recognition that we are prepared to offer each other. It is dedicated to Carlos Azevedo, a good friend who makes the exercise of freedom a way of life.
