🎵 Musgos: Memórias Dissonantes de Paisagens Arrítmicas 🎵

VIC NIC celebrates sound and music that defies form, crosses disciplines, and finds bliss in experimentation. From punk-jazz vibes to field recordings, each release reflects the creative spirit that pulses through VIC Aveiro Arts House and its community of artists. “Memórias Dissonantes de Paisagens Arrítmicas” by Musgos Band is a perfect example of that.

Recorded between 2016 and 2019 at Studio K61 Studio K61 in Berlin and released by VIC NIC in 2022, this album is a journey about resilience. It took three years, seven drummers (!!!), two guitarists, a saxophonist, a vibraphonist, and the visionary guidance of Tiago Margaça to bring it to life. The result? A collection of soundscapes that flow between post-prog rock, art-punk-jazz, and cinematic abstraction, each track unfolding like a surreal memory.

Mastered by Lucas Palmeira, featuring artwork by João Abraúl and design by Nayara Siler, it is also a quite special release for us, since it was our first-ever (and, so far, our only) cassette release.

💿 GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN! — Available online on Bandcamp, and at our physical Arts Store at VIC, the cassette was limited to 150 copies, which are now quite close to selling out...

🎸 MEET THE ARTISTS — Troll’s Toy [PT]
🗓️ TOMORROW Friday, June 19 · 21:30
📍 VIC Aveiro Arts House // Secret Cinema

Before they take the stage tomorrow at VIC’s Secret Cinema, let’s take a closer look at Troll’s Toy , one of Aveiro’s most distinctive voices in contemporary exploratory music.

Formed by Gabriel Neves (tenor saxophone), Jorge Loura (baritone guitar) and João Martins (drums), Troll’s Toy emerged from a shared background in the band Souq, developing a unique language somewhere between jazz improvisation, experimental rock and spontaneous composition.

Across their releases, like 18:05 (2019), Eksterordinare (2021), Synesthesia (2023) and Palingenesis (2024), the trio has built a sound shaped by contrasts: structure and chaos, silence and noise, restraint and eruption. With explosive rhythmic interplay, extended saxophone explorations and the unusual textures of the baritone guitar, Troll’s Toy create music that feels unpredictable yet deeply connected.

As Revista Rua described it, “Home-grown talent is often worth its weight in gold, and Troll’s Toy proved exactly that with a fantastic concert, delivering a fusion jazz approach infused with rock and experimental touches.”

Tomorrow, they join Fabulous Austrian Trio fabulousaustriantrio for a night dedicated to adventurous music and unexpected encounters. Don’t miss it!

🎸 MEET THE ARTISTS — Fabulous Austrian Trio [AT]
🗓️ Friday, June 19 · 21:30
📍 VIC Aveiro Arts House // Secret Cinema

Ahead of their performance at VIC’s Secret Cinema, get to know Fabulous Austrian Trio (FAT) .fabulousaustriantrio, the long-running collaboration between three remarkable musicians: guitarist Alex Machacek, bassist Raphael Preuschl and drummer Herbert Pirker.

Operating somewhere between jazz-fusion, progressive rock, funk and what they affectionately call “Disco-Prog”, FAT has built a distinctive sound where intricate compositions, infectious grooves and spontaneous improvisation coexist. At the centre of the trio is the chemistry between its members, mixing dazzling guitar work, powerful rhythmic foundations, and constantly shifting textures that come together in music that is technically adventurous but always playful, energetic and alive.

As John Kelman wrote for All About Jazz: “Clearly, the chemistry between the three musicians is something that inspires Machacek to some of his finest playing yet.”

Expect explosive grooves and a live performance where anything can happen. Don’t miss this special double bill with Troll’s Toy .

🗓️ Friday, June 19 · 21:30
📍 VIC Aveiro Arts House // Secret Cinema

On Friday 19 June, VIC’s Secret Cinema welcomes a double bill that brings together two trios united by a shared passion for experimentation, improvisation and pushing their instruments beyond familiar territory.

From Austria, Fabulous Austrian Trio (FAT) .fabulousaustriantrio, led by acclaimed guitarist Alex Machacek, alongside Raphael Preuschl and Herbert Pirker, arrives with their unique blend of jazz-fusion, progressive rock, funk and what they call “Disco-Prog”: complex compositions, infectious grooves and tons of improvisation.

Sharing the stage, Aveiro’s own Troll’s Toy return with their distinctive language built around jazz improvisation, experimental rock and spontaneous composition. Formed by Gabriel Neves, Jorge Loura and João Martins, the trio explores the space between structure and chaos, silence and noise, tension and release.

Two different approaches coming together, filled with adventurous music, unexpected encounters and the thrill of not knowing where the sound will go next.

Join us for a night of virtuosity, exploration and musical surprises.

📍 GrETUA, Aveiro

The final artist joining this special VIC × GrETUA collaboration is French musician, producer and sound artist Simon Henocq (), presenting his solo project "We Use Cookies".

Co-founder and artistic director of the Coax collective (), Henocq has built a distinctive practice at the intersection of experimental electronics, electroacoustic composition and sound art. Through "We Use Cookies", he explores sound as a living, unstable material: something that bends, fractures, expands and reassembles itself in real time.

Built from industrial textures, electronic noise pulsations, abrupt ruptures, and intricate layers of sonic detail, his performances create immersive environments where chaos and precision coexist. Metallic resonances, distorted signals and fragile acoustic gestures emerge and disappear, producing a constantly evolving relationship between sound, space and perception.

Intense, unpredictable and deeply immersive, "We Use Cookies" closes a line-up dedicated to adventurous listening and exploratory sound.
Reserve your seat and join us at GrETUA on June 12.

⚡ VIC × GrETUA
🗓️ Friday, June 12 · 22:00
📍 GrETUA, Aveiro

As we count down to June 12, we’re continuing the introductions of our performing artists. Ar Ker is the solo project of French drummer, composer and producer Seb Brun (), an artist whose work inhabits a constantly shifting space between percussion, electronics, repetition and transformation.

Using an augmented drum kit that combines acoustic percussion with live electronic processing, Brun builds performances where rhythm becomes both structure and disruption. Through layering, distortion, saturation and repetition, he creates immersive environments that feel equally ritualistic and mechanical.

As Sónia Felizardo wrote for Threshold Magazine, “Seb Brun’s music translates into a pure sonic exercise that makes use of repetition, layered textures, temporal distortion and different scales of auditory perception.”
Part ritual, part sonic architecture, Ar Ker is a live experience designed to be felt as much as heard.

⚡ VIC × GrETUA
🗓️ Friday, June 12 · 22:00
📍 GrETUA, Aveiro

Before they take the stage at GrETUA on June 12, we’re taking a closer look at the artists shaping this special VIC × GrETUA collaboration.
Led by Pedro Alves Sousa (), Má Estrela brings together an exceptional group of musicians, such as Gabriel Ferrandini (), Bruna de Moura (), Bruno Silva () and Simão Simões (.simoes), in a collective project that refuses easy categorisation.

Drawing from jazz, dub, ambient music, footwork and exploratory electronics, the quintet creates immersive environments where rhythm, texture and improvisation remain in constant transformation. Their music moves between meditative states and physical propulsion, balancing deep listening with a strong sense of movement.

Their latest album, "Tornada", released through Discrepant (.i.s.c.r.e.p.a.n.t), further expands this unique language, combining echoes of dub traditions, contemporary electronic music and free improvisation into something entirely their own

Expect hypnotic grooves, adventurous improvisation and a performance that constantly reinvents itself!
