dB Duet (FMR records)
João Madeira double bass
Hernâni Faustino double bass
We present the CD “dB Duet”, a duet of double basses, feat. Hernâni Faustino and João Madeira! Live recording at O’Culto da Ajuda, 2 legendary concerts that represent the high point of a small tournée in Lisbon, in which the two bass players built their own language shared in an intense dialogue. Knowing each other for + than 20 years, this CD is also a high point of their friendship.

This second release of the label Phonogram Unit presents the debut album of the No Nation Trio “Habitation” with Jorge Nuno on acoustic guitar, Hernâni Faustino on double bass and João Valinho on drums and percussion. The music on this record is an improvisational journey. Forms and sonic explorations are the core of this new acoustic trio. The search for elaborated dynamics and sound perspectives doesn’t have limits or frontiers. The trio is focused on keeping the structure flowing and making all the sound equally important for the final result.
