Black Pencil plays Frieda Gustavs’ A língua que ele fala and Desenhei uma almofada, weaving rhythm, language, and intimate soundscapes into a powerful, expressive performance.

As part of Dag van de Componist 2024, the ensemble Black Pencil performs two compositions by Frieda Gustavs: A língua que ele fala (2023) and Desenhei uma almofada (2023). Gustavs creates a rich auditory experience that blends storytelling, rhythm, and texture. A língua que ele fala evokes the musicality of language, while Desenhei uma almofada offers an intimate sound world, combining personal expression with intricate sound structures. Black Pencil brings these deeply imaginative works to life with their distinctive approach to contemporary performance.
