Last year, Aires, Sã Bernardo, Sal Grosso & Vile Karimi inhabited the Blackbox at O Espaço do Tempo from July 3–6, part of CCA's curatorial project Jejum. Over four days, these artists and collaborators converge, creating shifting constellations of sound through solo, duo, trio, and quartet encounters. Each evening invites the public into the intimacy of open rehearsals, where structure dissolves into possibility, a daily ritual of improvisation where boundaries blur, and music becomes a living act of discovery.

Recorded with a bunch of microphones scattered in a semi-organized manner throughout the space, this album is a document of a week and the many portals these artists opened through space and time.Think of this document more as a memento of a fleeting week than a traditional release. Rules don't apply here.
