Chapter I: Forest | Improvised Modular Performance | Sobrado Dos Monxes

Chapter I: Forest

In the 10th century, monks in search of solitude reached this forest and felt a deep connection with the land.
Here, they laid the first stone of what would become the Monastery of Sobrado dos Monxes.

For over eight centuries, the forest echoed with life, joy, and sacred peace.

But something was about to happen that no one could foresee…

-----

For the first location of the project, we chose the forest outside the Monastery — the place where the story begins, beyond the walls.

Nature becomes the first protagonist, before the stones were ever raised.

Fallen leaves covered the ground in a thick layer, embodying the passage of time through nature — in contrast with the sunset: the most beautiful moment of the day, yet also the last before dusk.

The sound’s dynamics were created live on our modular Eurorack synthesizer , unfolding as an improvised live performance . Its evolving textures mirror the flow of history — rising slowly as melodies take shape through performance, then fading quickly, like memory itself.

The piece blends ambient , drone and experimental electronic elements, shaped entirely in the moment.
