It is an original music project whose goal is to “create a musical mixture”, by combining and crossing audio samples with all genres of music, from hip-hop to rock, including techno, blues, world music, classical music and even music and concrete sounds from advertisements or TV series. These distinguished musicians will be heard on November 6, at the Seminário Maior de Coimbra, marking the beginning of a monthly cycle of activities under the general theme “Humanizing Art”.
