SINOPSE | Tradition embraces modernity in a relationship as promiscuous as it is fruitful and truly interesting. M-PeX is a project that allies the Portuguese Guitar to electronic music, and dares to explore musical landscapes never visited before. A bold experiment that sets a test for our ears, that dares to break down clichés and which proves that traditional music can also be modern, or vice-versa. Imagine the crystalline sound of a Portuguese Guitar. Imagine a laptop knocking out electronic rhythms. M-PeX is just that, electronic music with Portuguese Guitar. Or maybe it's Portuguese Guitar with electronics. Either way, the project mingles apparently irreconcilable music styles. But it is possible after all. The result is neither Fado nor electronic music, nor even the sum of the two, it's something more: it's something indefinable that is born of the marriage of tradition and innovation.

BIOGRAPHY | Born in Lisbon in 1979. He began by playing the guitar to accompany Fado with his grandfather Luís Pinheiro, who plays the Portuguese Guitar in Fado houses, restaurants and private functions. For a birthday, his grandfather gave him a Portuguese Guitar, and thereafter began to teach him some of his craft and methods. In parallel, as result of an ongoing interest in producing electronic music, in 1999 the project M-PeX is born, which allows the inclusion of the Portuguese Guitar, attempting to create unusual atmospheres in the national music scene, mixing sound aesthetics as different as Fado, Dub, Broken'Beat and Drum'n'Bass. M-PeX is also responsible for the programme "Puntz!", on Fridays at 00h to 01h on the Instituto Superior Técnico's Radio Zero - www.radiozero.pt - wholly dedicated to electronic music/drum'n'bass. There some original themes emerge, national projects are promoted and some sounds are disseminated that have dominated and continue to dominate the drum'n'bass/electronic music scene.

REVIEWS

"Portugal beatmaster Marco Miranda aka M-PeX released 'Phado', a great album showcasing Portuguese Guitar as taught to Marco by his grandfather. Applying the traditional strings to contemporary fusion with the inclusion of electronic beats, M-PeX is an ethnic time machine best accompanied by sentimental moods. Sometimes the guitar sounds like old school harpsichord (minus the hammer-ons and sliding)."
Shastud, IN Ear It Now

" 'Phado' is wholly Iberian in atmosphere, sensual and melodic with more than a tinge of nostalgic melancholy, evoking an ambience at once tangy and honey-dipped. These are the songs to compliment sentimental and lonely moods, when distance or time renders someone held dear intangible and missed."
Dutton Hauhart, IN Connexion Bizarre

"This mix of dubstep, electronic music and Portuguese Guitar music ('iPhado') is astonishly coherent and - contrary to what I expected from a release named like this - quite an original and refreshing contribution to the very interesting Portuguese folk music."
