“Records this patient are rare. Salt Season sounds like the hour before a heatwave breaks.”

About

Producer and singer. Born in Budapest, raised in Faro, living in Lisbon since 2016.

I make records slowly and play them loudly. Most of them start with a place: a boat, a greenhouse, a salt pan, a flat with a broken fan. I go there for weeks with a recorder and a notebook and wait for the songs.
