Mental Liberation Ensemble

Spurred by the cataclismic, astronomic and seismic event of legendary nomad musician and Midwestern shaman Scott Nydegger's return to Porto, the elusive Mental Liberation Ensemble reconvened for the second time in their four-year history, to throw offerings of blossoming virginal soundforms into the gaping volcano of the Cosmic Ear.

Mental Liberation Ensemble were:

Jonathan hhy Cohen - shenai, melodica, shakers, euphonium; Filipe de Banshee Mendes - mutant synth, shakers, chime; Mats Gustavo - drums, tuned metal; Álvaro Jourgensen - trumpet, flugel horn, conch, percussion; Henrique Mitslaff - electric double bass; André Jolivet - electronics, percussion; João Zorn - tuned plastic, tuned metal; Scott The Comet Nigger - voices.

Stay tuned for a video of the concert coming up soon!
