Born in Minas Gerais/Brazil, Rossano has been working professionally as a musician since 1991. Engaged as much in the field of education and research as in artistic creation. In 1995 with partners in his hometown, Belo Horizonte, started a project named Disfunção which gave birth to his group called pexbaA whose proposal consisted in promoting the interaction of many languages and musical forms. “Primeira Mitose” (Brava, Brasil 2020) is the most recent work of the artist.

Thelmo Cristovam, originally from Brasília/DF, lives and works in Pernambuco (BR). Improviser and composer with an academic background in physics and mathematics, acts as an independent researcher in psychoacoustics. Breath/throat (sax/trumpet) and electromagnetic waves (satellites/radio) are the current foccus of his free improvisation performances, radio art, noise and field recording based compositions.
