De boca em boca, desde a antiga Suméria
From mouth to mouth, since ancient Sumeria, what is an audiobook and how is it made? BOCA, a publisher of books, audiobooks, and other unidentified sound objects, is the guest of OSSO for a residency in which they will record their next edition, the author’s version, storyteller and illustrator Rodolfo Castro‘s epic tale of Gilgamesh, one of the world’s earliest stories. Following these days of experimentation, recording, and editing, BOCA will produce a radio program about the behind-the-scenes process of creating audiobooks, broadcast on the EIRA antenna on Thursday, July 21st, in the evening.
BOCA has brought along a very special guest, poesia.fm, a digital radio station about, for, and in search of poetry, which will be responsible for a workshop for children aged 6 to 10, taking place on Saturday, July 23rd, in the afternoon.

Sulla Lingua concert | 23.07.22
Sulla Lingua is the new Italian-Australian trio formed in 2021 by Anthony Pateras, Stefano Pilia, and Riccardo La Foresta. The troglodyte rhythms and distilled melodies result from the collision of the three’s shared collaborations and solo projects. Starting with the recording of La Foresta’s Drummophone, manipulated and elaborated by Pateras and Pilia during a residency in Modena last summer, the trio constructed a repertoire of melodies that is already a modern classic of good-time math-prog-disco-slow-head-banging. Sulla Lingua is Italian for “on the tongue” or “on language” and reflects the desire to cross idiomatic expressions with massive entertainment rock music.

Appleton invites Delphine Dora and Eric Chenaux for two concerts at OSSO on July 30th. The concerts are part of a partnership between OSSO and Appleton – Cultural Association.
Appleton is a space for experimentation and learning, designed to host, promote, and present various contemporary artistic expressions. Drawing from the legacy of eleven years of Appleton Square, the association now assumes a complementary position to commercial galleries as an independent, non-profit organization, and aims to continue contributing to the production, reflection, and dissemination of contemporary artistic thought and practice. Its programming is divided between Square, where longer exhibitions take place, and Box, designed to present performances, dance, music, cinema, theater, conversations, courses, or even short-term exhibitions, with a more accelerated pace and a more casual approach. Appleton’s intention is to be a platform available for any artist to showcase their work in Lisbon and possibly in other locations, through itineraries that may arise from partnerships and exchanges with other spaces of the same nature. As a non-profit entity, Appleton remains linked to the market since the artists or their respective galleries are free to commercialize what is shown there. From a sustainability standpoint, Appleton is mainly geared towards private support and patrons. Public support will primarily be directed towards supporting the artists and the production and materialization of artworks.
QR CODE is a multimedia and performative installation that explores the graphic visualization of two-dimensional codes – Quick Response Code – as a means of creation, using other artistic languages to conceptualize and research Marshall McLuhan’s idea of ‘Media as Extensions.’ This concept explores the ability of media to extend human faculties and transfer global reality and its contamination into present space.
The installation is composed of different media – performance, video, sound, installation – as polyphonic elements in physical space, testing the limits of communication and the possibilities of information. By moving between two spaces with distinct presences and times – the interior space of the gallery and the exterior space of each location’s streets – it proposes an immersive and reflective relationship resulting from the tension between physical and virtual experiences.
QR CODE is a rhizomatic installation, a network of multiple connections between objects, organisms, and hybrid experiences.
Ricardo Jacinto and Teresa Santos in conversation with Ana Gil and Nuno Leão from Terceira Pessoa | 20.07.22
10-year celebration at OSSO. | 29.07.22
Terceira Pessoa is an organization that develops artistic projects, with a special focus on performing arts and interdisciplinary approaches. It prioritizes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating professionals from diverse artistic fields. It engages audiences of different ages and sociocultural backgrounds, building a project that brings the community closer to cultural territories and promotes an exchange between local heritage and contemporary languages. It focuses its actions on three main areas: production and creation of artistic objects with the organization’s signature and dissemination of its areas of action as places for artistic production and creation at the national and international levels; bringing audiences closer to contemporary artistic languages through regular participatory and collaborative dynamics; organizing multidisciplinary artistic programming cycles that promote the circulation of creators and public access to explicitly contemporary and experimental proposals.

Radio piece | 28.07.22
Delphine Dora is a French musician, composer, and improviser. Her iconoclastic music can be read as a personal cartography, based on an intuitive approach to composition and fueled by numerous influences. Over the past decade, she has been developing an intimate and plural musical universe, in perpetual metamorphosis, at the crossroads of different genres.
Concert under the partnership between OSSO and Appleton – Cultural Association.

Scolari concert | 30.07.22
Scolari
António M. Silva, Bruno Pereira, and Luís Vicente come together in a fantastic encounter that revolves around ideas left by jazz, noise, and drone. Their dialogue is open, improvised, and markedly exploratory, based on practices common to the trio – noise/silence, abstract/concrete, melodic/dissonant, bitter/sweet. In 2021, they released a split on the Dutch label Faux Amis and “Mata-Mata,” their debut album under the Porto-based label Favela Discos. More recently, after a residency with local musicians in Prague, the trio has been working on a new recording that is more collaborative and open in nature.

Chão Maior concert | 30.09.22
“Chão Maior” is a musical group composed of Yaw Tembe (composition, trumpet), Norberto Lobo (guitar), Ricardo Martins (drums), Leonor Arnaut (vocals), João Almeida (trumpet) and Yuri Antunes (trombone). These musicians come from different backgrounds such as rock, jazz, folk and marching bands, and in this project, they explore all of these musical genres in a transparent way. The goal is to create a space of communion, a horizontal space where composition and improvisation coexist, drawing inspiration from the social systems embedded in the music of Sun Ra, Eddie Gale’s Ghetto Music, and Ornette Coleman’s concept of Harmolodics.
Eric Chenaux concert | 30.07.22
Eric Chenaux is a provider of jazz, folk, and pop-inflected avant-garde ballads, combining a warm and clear voice with a fried, noisy, and semi-improvised guitar. “A musician like no other” (Tiny Mix Tapes). “A singer possessing angelic sweetness accompanying himself with a visceral guitar, Chenaux manages to generate an astonishing variety of timbres” (The Wire, Cover Feature, 2017).
