It's been a whole year already since the amazing transdisciplinary artistic residency we put together took place in Bogota, gathering artists from Colombia, Brazil and the United States. It was a truly delightful and enriching experience and we remain very proud of its accomplishments. In this delicate time we are all living, to celebrate union, diversity and freedom becomes, even more, an act of resistance.

The third of four videos from our venture features “Wu-li”, piece by contemporary composer Koellreutter (1915-2005). The German-born naturalized Brazilian was one of Brazil's most important musical educators of the 20th century, having taught people such as Tom Jobim and Guerra Peixe. On “Wu-li”, Koellreutter experiments with the limits between author, performer and listener through a sort of improvisation map into the "relativist aesthetic of the imprecise and paradoxical", suggesting a new understanding of the sound/silence axis. The piece’s unorthodox notation, a diagram with lines and geometrical figures, indicates different time durations to be executed at the performer's choice as sound, pause or silence – here, we have expanded this reading also to movement and stillness of dancer Silvia Bermudez and of video artist Juliana Castro Duperly.

Many thanks to OneBeat, Found Sound Nation, U.S. Department of State and Embajada de los Estados Unidos Colombia for trusting us and making all of this possible. To the artists and team who joined in with body and soul, our immense gratitude.

The second of four videos we’re releasing of the residency we developed last June in Colombia features "Sin Palabras", heartfelt composition by Johanna Amaya. Besides Juliana Castro Duperly's video experimentation and the Laura Zapata's electronics – creating sounds and manipulating all sorts of recordings we made with kids throughout the workshops we offered – here we have our third special guest, Colombian dancer Silvia Bermudez, bringing communication to the universe of the body. If the composition title (that means "no words") suggests the desire of communicating without words, i.e. expanding the frontiers of spoken/written idioms, in this performance it conquers a plurality of territories: music, abstract imagery and contemporary dance. In the author's own words:

"'Sin Palabras' was composed a few weeks before OneBeat 2017 to be specifically played during this amazing journey. It was inspired by the excitement of knowing that I was going to be part of this great experience and also by the mystery of the things that were about to happen.

“Although I composed this piece to be performed during OneBeat, I didn't know who would be the musicians that would play the piece with me, and I didn't know either that their participation would give a whole meaning to the song. Lyn and Paulim appeared to give life to this music, to put their identities, their ideas, their talent, their commitment, their perspective of arts and life, and suddenly I found a name for the composition: 'Sin Palabras', the synthesis of what OneBeat experience meant to me: I had no words to express how grateful I was for being part of it, and we needed no words to express our vision of music, our vision of the world."

Yet another thankful mention to OneBeat, Found Sound Nation, U.S. Department of State and Embajada de los Estados Unidos Colombia for trusting us and making all of this possible. And to the artists and team who joined in with body and soul, all our gratitude.

Memory of our final concert, one week ago at Museo Nacional de Colombia, in its gorgeous auditorium. Many thanks to everyone who came for such an attentive listening; it was, indeed, a gran finale.

We hope to share some live recordings soon. Stay tuned!

This was our fundamental team for the incredible past two weeks. No words to thank these people for their undescribable commitment to our project, for their mindblowing compositions and musicality, for their willingness to give and share with all around them, to expand limits and dive into the unknown.

From the workshops with over 400 kids between Bogota and Sopó to the four concerts and a full-day recording, they were there, body and soul.

It's quite hard to achieve a degree of unity among musicians with such distinct backgrounds and lines of work, but we'd like to think we did it as much as we'd like to think this was the first of many other gatherings.

Let'em come!

After two intense weeks of an adventurous immersion, tomorrow's our Gran Finale at Museo Nacional de Colombia, one of the most prestigious stages to set foot in the country.

On the first week, workshops and classes with over 400 (!) kids from public schools in Bogota and Sopó. Throughout these activities, we recorded a lot of the material – from interviews to collective improvisation – we've been using as sonic landscapes in the concerts and that will soon result in a mixtape.

On this second week, we engaged in the whole development of a cohese multidisciplinary narrative that resulted in a mixture of perspectives, textures, senses and flavours we're really proud of.

It's been a wild learning time and deeply enriching experience. Come join us on our farewell concert tomorrow! We'll make it worth it.
