Ever the archivist at heart, my father, Francisco Alvelos, had the foresight of recording the national radio and television broadcasts of the Portuguese "Carnation" Revolution as it unfolded on the 25th of April, 1974. Just audio, that is: home video was still years away, as was colour TV I was then seven years old, and remember an afternoon without school, the radio hosting strange voices, a still image on the TV set. By dinner time TV broadcast had been restored and some very serious-looking men in strange garments made very serious speeches, my parents expressions of expectancy and excitement an obvious indicator that, despite being beyond my comprehension, something major was taking place. That somehow made up for the disappointing disappearance of cartoons... The World was different back then for a seven-year-old under an ailing European dictatorship. By chance I recently unearthed the cassette tape my father recorded, and took great care in digitising it as it might not survive one last playback. It did snap once, but I managed to successfully improvise a bit of tape surgery Here, then, are the newsflashes and the first public address of the Revolution Council to the nation: I edited out the obvious copyrighted material, and kept the marching anthems to a sensible degree. At 20 50 on this edit, we hear a declaration summarising the motives for the military upsurge; remarkable how a significant part of what is said still resonates in 2016 - and how timely that I found this recording on the eve of the Portuguese presidential election. The last 30 seconds of this edit, the tail-end of the junta declaration and the ensuing silence, are eerie in their prescience: What now?, the fumbling silence seems to wonder. It still does. Listening while digitising, the recordings brought vivid memories of my father. And somehow I felt I was fulfilling his wish, rendered audible almost 42 years later: to preserve and convey a historical document for future generations to remember, reflect and interpret. Heitor Alvelos, January 2016 Mono recording by Francisco Alvelos from national radio and television broadcasts in Aveiro, Portugal, April 25, 1974. Edited and mastered by Heitor Alvelos, January 2016. The dedication should be self-evident.

Este Podcast iniciou a nossa semana de Futureplaces. Iniciámos a aventura deste ano imediatamente após uma aparição de Antifluffy* na visita guiada à exposição "Porto pelo Porto" que ainda está patente na Reitoria da Universidade do Porto... Mais do que o natural cansaço após 3 intensos dias de UD15 (conferencia que se realizou, com participação da mesma equipa, nos dias antecedentes a este arranque) retemos o entusiasmo neste Laboratório de congeminador de alternativas e modelos de cidadania de olhos postos nos futuros que estes nos possam trazer. É assim que a equipa FP nos contagia, e é a isto que esperamos ter correspondido com esta conversa e com a nossa participação este ano! Venham mais... Este, aqui pelas nossas "webs" está apenas a começar!   *Mascote do Futureplaces The post #97 Future Places 2015 – Com Heitor Alvelos, Anselmo Canha e Pedro Almeida appeared first on DAR.

Field recording of fireworks on Saint John's Night, June 23, 2014, the local pagan inheritor celebration of the Summer Solstice. Recording by Heitor Alvelos on Bruce Geduldig and Bernadette Martou's balcony, Porto, Portugal. The vantage point, overlooking the tail end of the Douro river from a considerable height, allows the acoustic experience to become as impressive as the visual: the sound of the fireworks travels back and forth through the valley in considerable detail. Recent trends in mass entertainment have dictated the expectation for further ingredients of sensory input, i.e. the "pure" experience of the explosives shall not be enough. Cue the arrival of pop anthems as an added sound layer that, as far as acoustics go, can only be experienced as a distraction. This is the main reason for the dramatic pitch shift in the present recording: the sound fabric is brought down to the point where pop pap no longer hurts. In the meantime, a different landscape emerges, austere and foreboding. Edited by Heitor Alvelos in Sues, August 2014: the recording has been left unaltered save for a pitch shift of -77%. Mastered by Anselmo Canha in Porto, September 2014. Assisted at various times by Jos Maria Lopes, Teresa Serdio, Jos Canha, Antifluffy.
