An inteview with me, about the recent concert with Émasfoi-se, a band from Coimbra from 20 years ago. The site is a blog focusing on the Portuguese Punk scene. Although Émasfoi-se wasn’t exactly “Punk”, there were many references and sometimes parodies which included Punk. (All content is in Portuguese Language)

Happy Birthday, Chris!
Here’s a song I made for Chris, called… “For Chris”! Happy Birthday to You!
Practice Versus Perfect
This is an original song I made over the last weeks that I would like to share with you. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for sticking around! Miguel The idea started while trying to make another (yet unfinished) song. I thought it was getting too complicated and took on some accidental playing on my guitar. IContinue reading “Practice Versus Perfect”
September Gurls
Perhaps my favourite Michael Steele bassline, but there are many… This was one that I started playing bass with, back in the days I bought the album in ’86 and I got my first bass on the following year. What strikes me the most about this bassline are the subtle passages on chord transitions, whichContinue reading “September Gurls”
Between the Two
Michael Steele is one of my all-time favourite artists (musician, lyricist, singer). This song, written by herself and David White, is one of the best moments of “Doll Revolution” – the last album of The Bangles with Michael Steele. Thank you for your Music, Michael!

More from MIA 2010
Two more sessions where I played at the MIA 2010 festival of free improvisation music.

It was my first experience withContinue reading “MIA 2010 – Free improvising session”
Panda Pompoir – Mundial da Boa Esperança
Panda Pompoir did the politically incorrect anthem for the Portuguese national team’s campaign on World Cup 2010 in South Africa – World Cup of Good Hope (Mundial da Boa Esperança) is actually a support song for both Portugal and Brazil – The lyrics, written by featuring artist Felipe Flamboyant (aka the voice of “Bruno Aleixo”Continue reading “Panda Pompoir – Mundial da Boa Esperança”
Onward – A “Rickenbacker Kiss”
An idea that was inspired by the story (many of you may know) behind the very end of Safe (Canon Song). I am playing my 4001 CS bass which is unplugged. Holding it against the back of my (plugged) 360 guitar… a Rickenbacker Kiss. I experimented with different guitar tunings that would resonate well withContinue reading “Onward – A “Rickenbacker Kiss””
