This new chapter of the Sound Mapping series focuses on Portugal, tracing a cartography of contemporary electroacoustic practices, with a constellation of approaches that oscillate between abstract electronics, music directly influenced by Iberian tradition, ritualistic impulses, and slow-moving electroacoustic drone. What emerges is a porous sonic territory shaped by memory, landscape, and experimentation.

Portugal's electroacoustic underground has developed along singular lines, absorbing influences from traditional rhythms, coastal geographies, and a long-standing dialogue between isolation and openness. In these works, electronic sound often remains connected to corporeal and material references. Pulses evoke archaic dances and percussive ceremonies rooted in Iberian heritage, while drones stretch time into meditative or suspended states, recalling sacred spaces and raw natural environments.

An immersive journey through 13 compositions that explore the tension between the ancestral and the synthetic; a shifting terrain where electronics, Iberian tradition, ritual memory, and abstraction converge. Features: Vitor Joaquim, Margarida Garcia, HHY & The Macumbas, Haarvöl, Manuel Mota, David Maranha, Alfredo Costa Monteiro, @c, Ana Durana, Reixelo, João Alegria, BVHZ, and NIN-FAE.
