MEDUSA is a solo composition for cello, electronics and resonant objects by Ricardo Jacinto. It uses an amplification system with microphones placed on different points of the cello and a diffusion system with several contact speakers connected to resonant objects. This device allows the sonic fragments and the spread of motions to be explored in the body of the instrument, linking the microscopic audible range thus produced with the soundscape and the acoustics of the surroundings.

We now present MEDUSA Unit – a new ensemble version –– which expands the original ideas of the project. Concert and installation show this new line-up, a group of musicians called to interpret pieces dedicated to advance interaction strategies with the adjacent space. With Álvaro Rosso (double bass), Angélica Salvi (harp), João Almeida (trumpet), Nuno Morão (percussion), Ricardo Jacinto (cello and composition) and Violeta Azevedo (flute).
