Very Nice Noise

Xarhope is Samuel Ufus solo project, that have been doing music for around 10 years. During this time I have been traveling and living here and there, inside my country and in another palaces in Europe, making music here and there, always in a very low conditions, and I'm not complaining. Traveling and making music is for me really connected. The post-punk altitude suited me very nice, and brought the sense to my traumatic need of expression! Jazz and improvised music was the cream and spiritual thing to me as a traveler that have to improvise almost everyday. I'm also a writer mainly connected with surrealism and the beat generation. Till now ? have worked with different projects such as, VACUUM (weirdmetal/tribal/experimental), 2000-2001, with Gabriel Moreira. ENGENHO (improv, noise, darkwave, punk,), 2001-2010 with Marco Ramos. JACKPOOOTE (improv/punk/dub/tribal), 2007-2008, with Gon�alo Pinto. TALiSMUTrio (freejazz/rock), 2008-2009, with Marcelo and Ara. PREGUiZZA (postrock/ambient/fieldrecordings/poetry), with Luis Antero and lastly I have been working with Carmen Serralva (nemraca), we have been improvising with toy instruments, electronic stuff, doing fieldrecordings and spokenword in our travel from Portugal to Turkey.
