The Da Pele series comprises a set of sound installations ( A Teia da Pele and A Memória da Pele ) developed from research centred on the adufe , first undertaken and presented at MATSDAY as part of the Master’s in Arts and Sound Technologies at ESMAE (Escola Superior de Música e Artes do Espectáculo). Hands bring the adufes to life. When placed within a relational web, a single movement or breath is enough to set off a self sustaining motion that is difficult to stop: a flood of beats and voices that gain strength through connection and multiplication. This is the power of the ensemble: the collective and its memory, embodied in a simple instrument made of four wooden boards and a skin.
