EXÍLIOS

The EXÍLIOS trilogy is a vocal and instrumental work whose main basis is George
Christian’s acoustic guitar, but with diverse instrumentation and variety of local and
foreign guest musicians, in a nomadic, trans-territorial, metaphysically exiled music.
Instrumental pieces live with (anti)songs in the name of diversity of routes.

In EXÍLIOS, the composition and the free-improvisation, the usage of Eastern and
Western instruments, the tonal or modal or micro(a)tonal harmonies, the processes
of acousmatic experimentation or of extended techniques, all of them are still in the
process. And, in every volume, textural processes are worked in a distinctly
progressive ways.

GEORGE CHRISTIAN

George Christian is a composer who was born in Salvador, August 10th, 1981. His
artistic beginnings were in the poetry and drawing fields, but it was through music
and his guitar that he’s decided to show his face to the (virtual) world, releasing his
first solo album, Às Vezes Sempre in 2010, by the French label Stomoxine Records.

Since 2013, he’s been performing sporadically solo or as a guest, having also some
passages in some groups. George now has 16 albums in his resume, released by
the following labels: Deep White Sound, Boolean Records (extinct), Itsu-Jitsu
(extinct), Spectropol Records, Plataforma Records, SattvaLand Records, Sê-lo
Netlabel, Mansarda Records, Zpoluras Archives and, now, Bestiar Netlabel. In the
local scenario, he catalogs and releases physical copies through his personal label
GC Sound Artifacts. He also has already collaborated with a diversity of artists in the
local experimental scene, as well as virtually, participating on compilations or
collective albums.

In his compositional work, George Christian deals with the instrumental and vocal
procedures in freely manner concerning its insertion into academic, classical or
popular circles. The guitar is his main instrument of creation, while writing vocal or
instrumental scored pieces or in (semi)improvised and eletroacoustic pieces. His
approach isn’t restricted to the pure experimental research. His works are, primarily,
conceptual and poetic, which digress on experiences of tonal misplacements as
possibilities of spectral or microtonal transcendence.
