Migration is a music duo project, created by Pablo Pulido and Rui Resende, based in Barcelona.
We are influenced by different things, and we make the best of those influences.
Improvisation and appropriation are the basis of our sound.
To migrate is to go from one place to the other. Chance is often the true engine of life. This project is the result of the accidental encounter between two people: a drummer from Rosario, Argentina and a pianist from Porto, Portugal. Barcelona is their meeting and resting point.
To migrate also means to travel. In a trip, we always carry some sort of luggage. The musical and cultural luggage we were carrying at the time of our chance meeting was the starting point of this experience: themes written by others or by us. What we made of them is a fusion of sorts, where one can’t tell what was already there and what was added in the process.
A Piano and Drums duet is not the most common format, nor the easiest to approach, musically speaking. But to migrate or travel are never easy. Taking risks is part of the journey. So, not unlike migrating birds who pick up seeds in a place to unwittingly plant them somewhere else, so is this record the result of many seeds we brought from many places, and a humble attempt to make them flourish.
