Pedro Lopes is a turntablist metamorphosed into a percussionist by night and a Human Computer Interaction researcher by day. When playing live he deconstructs his instrument, the turntables, into a vehicle of a rapid musical dialog of analog intonation and acoustic overtones. In Pedro’s music the needles are microscopes that enable us to hear otherwise unheard micro-realities, such as the sound of a fingernail scratching a membrane or a coin revolving as it falls. Pedro’s music work has been presented at Serralves Foundation, Ljubljana jazz festival, Fylkingen, Ausland, and Goethe Institut.
