News

Hugo Paquete's "Rhythms of the Subatomic Landscapes" Selected for Irradia Festival 2025

The acousmatic composition Rhythms of the Subatomic Landscapes has been selected for presentation at the Irradia Festival 2025, an international event dedicated to contemporary sound and radio art. The festival will take place from October 16 to 19, 2025, with broadcasts on Universitária FM 107.9 (Fortaleza) and Universitária FM 104.7 (Vitória), alongside online streaming.

The work plunges the listener into a sonic world where rhythm behaves not as a regular pulse, but as a dynamic, unpredictable weather system. Developed through algorithmic processes and granular synthesis at Absonus Lab, the piece constructs immersive environments where percussive elements flicker, swarm, and decay. Drawing from a post-techno sensibility, it explores the co-composition with unstable systems, offering a listening experience that interrogates time, perception, and the inherent politics of how we organize sound.

This selection places the piece among a inspiring gathering of international artists, reaffirming a commitment to research-creation that explores the frontiers of sonic materiality and critical listening.

Selection for Arte e Tecnologia Residency & Festival PERIPHERA 2025

We are pleased to announce that Hugo Paquete's project has been selected for the Arte e Tecnologia artistic residency in Trafaria, Portugal. The residency will take place from October 6 to 26, 2025, culminating in a public presentation at Festival PERIPHERA 2025 from November 14 to 16.

The residency period will be dedicated to developing a new work at the Antigo Presídio da Trafaria, a renovated historical building providing studio space for artistic production.

This residency offers a focused period for research and creation, continuing an ongoing cycle of work that explores the intersections of sound, technology, and critical media practice.
