This Thursday, September 17, I’m performing solo at Ausland-Berlin! Some people only know me from behind the drums — but I also have this other thing going on, playing percussion instruments that are not a drum kit, alongside electronic devices & Max patches. So… that’s gonna be me tomorrow! 👾

Just left Amsterdam after recording Fie Schouten’s *SPACE* project at the Bimhuis — a sonic exploration of Georges Perec’s Espèces d’Espaces. It was an honor to create alongside extraordinary artists: Fie Schouten, Pierre Baux, and Vicent Courtois. Live performances will follow soon!

Tonight’s the night: A Year Without Summer has its Vienna premiere @volkstheaterwien (and our first international show). Honored to be behind the drums for Florentina Holzinger striking work—the more it unfolds, the more it hits. 📸 MayaWallraff

Happy to return to Sowieso (Berlin) tonight with the driving force and always-inspiring Lisa Ullén, Aaron Lumley (who rounds out my Amsterdam trio with Nico Chianteroli), and—thrilled to share the stage for the first time— **Lisen Rylander Löve**. ☀️

Thank you Bill Shoemaker for your words about TRIZMARIS in Point of Departure (www.pointofdeparture.org). Still pinching myself that TRIZMARIS is finding its people! And no appreciation post would be complete without my partners in crime Carlos Zíngaro, João Madeira and 4daRecord Records.

(2/2) For years, I’ve collected art books, yet women were strikingly absent from my shelves. Now, I’m rebalancing my collection with works by women. Starting with Nikki de Saint Phalle’s autobiography and Britta Marakatt-Labba’s spellbinding art. Recommendations: Share below!

(1/2) Last month, I shared a photo of the CDs I’d been listening to that week—a celebration of stepping back from streaming platforms. Today, I want to shine a light on the phenomenal women leading this week’s soundtrack—artists whose bold voices inspire me deeply. #InternationalWomensDay

Throwback Thursday to my solo set at @ausland.berlin last year. Turns out, I just learned what “TBT” means—so here I am, diving headfirst into this oddly universal tradition and flexing my newfound social media literacy. 🎶 . . #TBT #SoloPerformance #Ausland #Percussion #Drums #Electronics

I canceled my music streaming subscription. Now I’m back to stacking CDs and LPs, flipping through artwork, reading liner notes, and digging through record stores. It’s not nostalgia—it’s the tangible connections, the unexpected conversations in record shops. Sometimes, less tech really is more.

Great review of *Trizmaris* from Jan Granlie via Salt Peanuts!** Thank you so much for your words and support. «The result is thrillingly inventive improvisation: music that challenges, fascinates, and rewards deep listening.» Read here: salt-peanuts.eu/record/zinga...

Trizmaris was released in December last year, just in time to make it onto @jazzpt.bsky.social's lists of the best Portuguese albums of 2024 - thank you so much, Isabela Abate and David Cristol! I’m grateful to have embarked on this journey alongside João Madeira and the legendary Carlos Zíngaro.
