Diogo Carriço is a posthuman pianist and audiovisual artist incarnating the urgent balance between people, nature and technology. He engages with the deconstruction and transmutation of pianism and the piano, in a relation of forces with electronics that infuse fluidity and restlessness in oneness. A boundary breaking approach and fluidity between acoustic, electronic and visual elements represents his compositions and performances. Adventuring on a minimalist piano, he infuses drifting harmonies and undulating melodies with electronic experimentalism. Diogo conceives sonic life forms that permeate asymmetries of media, bringing audience into immersion in dreamy soundscapes and live visuals that have as much from the natural world as abstract paintings.

Next to his performances, Diogo is interested in pushing forward the way new technologies can be used for musical purposes. Such is done via the use of body motion sensors, like the Leap Motion hands sensor, to strictly connect the musician’s gesture to electronic sound manipulation. As result of this work, an invitation to be artist in residency in the University of Arts of Amsterdam followed in 2019, where later he occupied the position of researcher. Supported by the newly formed Culture Club of the same instituition, he prototyped “Qi”, a unique software for shaping musical performances and new media art with the intuition of hand gestures.

Silhouette Nekropolis is the debut album of posthuman pianist Diogo Carriço. Its release will be celebrated with a white LP edition and an audiovisual show fusing minimalist piano with electronic experimentalism. Experience being propelled to restless soundscapes and dissolving colors, drifting through a coral reef’s dreamy yet confronting lifetime journey.
