«NUNO CANAVARRO (1962)
Alsee, 1988
Ensoniq Mirage sampler, Yamaha FB-01 synthesizer
Author's studio, Cascais
Plux Quba, LP Ama Romanta, 1988; re CD Moikai, 1998

Began his music career as a member of pop bands in the beginning of the 1980's and, from 1983 to 1985, studied electroacoustic music in the United States and in The Netherlands. After Plux Quba was released in 1998, he started composing music for cinema. Plux Quba was recorded with scarce means, among which "a synthesizer, an Ensoniq Mirage eight bit sampler (one of the first available at that time) and an eight track Fostex recorder. Today I can hardly believe how I managed to do that record. I actually used the sampler's software errors. It was a quite unstable instrument and there were situations in which, forced to work hard, it would behave unpredictably. It was very good for the kind of music I wanted to do. The tracks plb, xqa and xlb were produced in the same recording sessions. Rafael Toral found them in the Plux Quba tapes and thought it would be interesting to include them in the anthology. I hadn't heard some of these sounds for about ten or twelve years. For a while -- at least while I listened to them -- they took Plux Quba's electroacoustic map back to me."»
