Physical and digital solo album

oracular exercise — the violin (and now also other instruments) as an extension of the body itself

“pearl of flames” was recorded, performed and produced by Adriana João

It is composed of recordings of instruments played by the artist and digitally processed: violin + voice + guitar + viola beiroa + piano + beiroínha + rattles + gourd shaker+ adufe + bar chimes + rainstick

Created mainly during the final stages of the Culturgest “Casa das Novidades” residency (August–September 2025), between Idanha-a-Nova, at the Centro Cultural Raiano, and Portimão, where she is from, in the family home where she grew up.

The album is part of the larger installation “pearl of flames”, featured in the exhibition “Casa das Novidades”, curated by João Francisco Reis, where a rotating illuminated glass display case holds the 100 records inside, the key in the lock, and the sound occupying the museum space.
