Menor – Festival de Música Eletrónica
Sound performance by Pedro Augusto
Friday, November 7, 21:30
TAGV Coimbra

The Buzzer is a collaboration between producer Pedro Augusto and photographer Miguel Proença, resulting in both a record and a photobook. This performance marks the debut of the sound piece alongside a selection of photographs from the book. The compositions explore the geographical and psychological dimensions of the images, intertwining field recordings, interviews, and radio signals from a mysterious shortwave station—presumably of Russian military origin. The project presents a form of sonic cartography, mapping the intersection of sound, memory, and territoriality.

Conscientions
With nice words by Jörg Colberg: “It’s hard to pick just one photograph from Miguel Proenca’s Behind the Hill, but I figured this one would do. Faith and superstition (or rather their remnants) in the modern world.”

Awarded the first prize of the daily life category at Prémio Estação Imagem 2012, the jury was composed by Emilio Morenatti (NPPA), Frédérique Babin (Le Monde Magazine), Patrick Baz (Agence France Press), Marion Durand (Newsweek) and Arianna Rinaldo (Ojodepez).
