about

what a magical thing to be able to contemplate the world!
your eyes become one with what you see. your breath merges with the breath of the wind.
your skin is no longer your skin but the skin of what you touch.
what you hear is what you are.
i breathe in what is here and when i breath out i give myself as i am.

sometimes darkness takes over, we get blind, scared, lonely… and all of a sudden you realise that, instead of waiting for the lights to be turned on, all you have to do is open your eyes and everything is just there in front of you! and you see and hear it like never before! and that’s magic! and that opens your heart! so you can breathe it all in and be in ecstasy!

The Portuguese trumpeter Susana Santos Silva has firmly established herself in the upper echelons of jazz and improvised music, a musician of lyric imagination and technical ferocity with deep historical perspective. Based in Stockholm, Sweden—where she’s currently studying electro-acoustic composition at the Royal College of Music—Silva is an inveterate collaborator, turning to artistic partnerships to constantly explore new sonic terrain. She works with pianist Kaja Draksler in a duo as well as the quartet Hearth with Ada Rave and Mette Rasmussen, she’s played in Fire! Orchestra, participated in many projects with bassist Torbjörn Zetterberg, and worked with legendary figures like Fred Frith and Anthony Braxton, in addition to leading several bands of her own.

In recent years Silva has expanded her artistic scope, creating vivid sound collages that meticulously blend field recordings, electronics, and her authoritative trumpet playing that extend her interest in narrative and wordless storytelling. Her new Thanatosis album All The Birds And A Telephone Ringing features the most accomplished and sophisticated iteration of this new practice, starting with her deep interest in the variegated relationships that exist between the natural world and the human beings that inhabit it.

released November 25, 2022

A beautiful and vivid excursion in electroacoustics ( Electronic Sound )

Her established voice, as a versatile improviser, is expanded rather than abandoned here, combined imaginatively with other resources to explore in fresh ways the nature of sounds ( The Wire )

We are literally captivated by the force of proposal of this opus resonating in a familiar way and yet giving off an aura of enveloping mystery, with a raw and deep dreamlike quality.
Field recordings are superimposed to give shape to a magma of matter evolving through landscapes fluctuating between urbanity and organic universe, concentrated life in continuous movements. Fascinating. ( Silence and Sound )

... the tension and enchantment Santos Silva manages to create here in the use of creaking ship hulls, hydrophones, thunder, church bells and seagulls is astonishing to say the least ( Lira )

The new album expands her sonic palette, far beyond the extended breathing techniques for the trumpet, and offers intriguing sound collages that meticulously blend field recordings, electronics and her suggestive trumpet playing that stress her interest in narrative and wordless storytelling.
Her trumpet playing highlights her lyrical imagination, but now becomes even more adventurous... The suggestive cover art by Canadian-American visual artist Jeannie Hutchins («who uses photography to explore life’s unanswerable questions») solidifies the touching, vulnerable essence of this beautiful, highly immersive listening experience. ( Salt Peanuts )

Eve Risser was always groovy and melodic in her own way, she just knew how to hide it well. But here on her new record with Red Desert Orchestra, her band built around West African musicians, it shines through even more. And as always, great music. jiristepan
