BELÍSSIMO DISCO. VIVAMENTE RECOMENDADO
Dança dos Desastrados on The Best Jazz on Bandcamp: June 2021» - «On Dança dos Desastrados, every note, every beat has a melodic perspective in mind. This is not a new thing for Miguel Ângelo. The bassist has a talent for establishing epic dialogues on the strength of his flowing melodic statements.» @ Bandcamp by Dave Sumner

SOBRE
Depois de ter lançado “BRANCO", o álbum de estreia do grupo, em 2013, e o disco “A VIDA DE X”, em 2016, o Quarteto, liderado pelo contrabaixista e compositor Miguel Ângelo, promove, agora, o terceiro trabalho do grupo - “DANÇA DOS DESASTRADOS".
Mantendo a formação em quarteto com os seus habituais companheiros - João Guimarães no Sax Alto, Joaquim Rodrigues no Piano e Marcos Cavaleiro na Bateria -, o novo álbum é a continuidade do trabalho e da maturação do compositor e do grupo, que se apresenta mais criativo, inspirado e maturado.
Baseado em possíveis Danças Tradicionais, reais ou imaginárias, esta é a proposta do grupo de música para escutar, sentir e dançar, mesmo para os mais “desastrados”.
SOBRE O PROJETO DIGITAL
As artes complementam-se, cruzam-se, atropelam-se e em conjunção permitem novas realizações e realidades. Por isso, o contrabaixista e compositor que também é programador informático, aliou-se à artista gráfica Maria Mónica, autora da Capa do disco e, a partir da música, criaram um novo mundo “autónomo” digital, em forma de jogo, paisagem e/ou realidade virtual de forma a que a música, o desenho e a tecnologia potenciem a experiência sensorial do ouvinte/interlocutor(a).

ABOUT
After “BRANCO”, the group's debut album, in 2013, and the album “A VIDA DE X”, in 2016, Quarteto, led by bassist and composer Miguel Ângelo, now promotes the third work of the group - “DANCE DOS DESASTRADOS”.
Keeping the formation in quartet with his usual companions - João Guimarães in Sax Alto, Joaquim Rodrigues in Piano and Marcos Cavaleiro in Bateria -, the new album is the continuity of the work and maturation of the composer and the group, which is more creative, inspired and matured.
Based on possible Traditional Dances, real or imagined, this is the proposal of the music group to listen, feel and dance, even for the most “clumsy”.
ABOUT THE DIGITAL PROJECT
The arts complement each other, intersect, run over each other and in conjunction allow for new achievements and realities. For this reason, the double bass player and composer who is also a computer programmer, joined the graphic artist Maria Mónica, author of the album’s cover and, from music, created a new digital “autonomous” world, in the form of a game, landscape and / or virtual reality so that music, design and technology enhance the sensory experience of the listener / interlocutor (a).
