ocp – operador de cabine polivalente – One man (João Ricardo), a table and some small machines, drove us on a continuous sound trip of diverse landscapes atCafé Candelabro, Porto.

Ambient, beats, a dash on noise and industrial, repetitive sound loops. Desert, bottom of the sea, the fast speed of a train in a tunnel, radio noises, pleasant grooves and outer space were some of the stations of this singular soundscape.
