Jacinto\u2019s artistic proposition is distinctly site-specific, conceived for the former industrial complex Uni\u00e3o Fabril, now Ba\u00eda do Tejo.<\/p>\n<p>The installation, entitled Explodido and curated by Cl\u00e1udia Ramos, combines cello, electronics and other resonant sound objects. Improvisation and experimentalism\u2014key elements throughout Jacinto\u2019s career\u2014are central to this piece as well. Here, improvisation unfolds between the acoustic sound of the cello and the electroacoustic sound diffused through amplified transducers. One of the main explorations, clearly audible on the album, lies in the propagation of resonant waves through the fragments of a metal staircase found on site, articulating notions of fragmentation and dispersion.<\/p>\n<p>This approach investigates the sonic and spatial potential of the environment, weaving together physical structures and produced sounds, and creating a dynamic interaction between the various elements present. Medusa II stands as a striking example of Ricardo Jacinto\u2019s practice, in which improvisation, experimental research and the exploration of surrounding physical elements and their sonic properties converge to shape a unique audio-visual and sound art experience.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 373px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1660397701\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ricardojacinto.bandcamp.com\/album\/medusa-ii\">MEDUSA II by Ricardo Jacinto<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Format: CD<br \/>\nProduction: OSSO<br \/>\nYear: 2018<br \/>\nEdition: 1000 copies<br \/>\nDuration: 33:64<br \/>\nRecording: Ricardo Jacinto<br \/>\nMixing: Ricardo Jacinto<br \/>\nMastering: Nuno Mor\u00e3o (Scratch Built)<br \/>\nCover: Jo\u00e3o M.
