The project expands ideas developed in his solo work, which he has been presenting since 2014. A defining feature here\u2014beyond the strength of an ensemble composed of highly accomplished artists in their respective fields\u2014is the inclusion of an electroacoustic setup on the cello, with microphones placed at different points and loudspeakers connected to resonant objects for the diffusion of sound.The album Umbra, Penumbra &amp; Antumbra was recorded live, focusing on the many possible combinations between acoustic instruments, the electroacoustic system and resonant objects. The result is a textural, minimalist and spectral musical experience that retains both dynamism and sonic richness. This project marks an important milestone in the career of Ricardo Jacinto.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 241px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2318890344\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shhpuma.bandcamp.com\/album\/umbra-penumbra-antumbra\">Umbra, Penumbra &amp; Antumbra by Medusa Unit<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Format: CD<br \/>\nProduced by: OSSO and Shhpuma<br \/>\nYear: 2023<br \/>\nEdition: 500 copies<br \/>\nDuration: 55:54<br \/>\nComposition and direction: Ricardo Jacinto<br \/>\nRecorded live by: Suse Ribeiro and Nelson Carvalho at CCC (Cultural and Congress Centre), Caldas da Rainha, December 2021<br \/>\nMixed and mastered by: Suse Ribeiro<br \/>\nExecutive production: Travassos \u2013 Trem Azul<br \/>\nCover photograph: Ant\u00f3nio J\u00falio Duarte<br \/>\nEnsemble photograph: Nuno Concei\u00e7\u00e3o<br \/>\nDesign: Travassos<\/p>\n<p>CD image: Stand with Gorgoneion, signed by Ergotimos as potter and Kleitias as painter.
