AT THE STILL POINT OF THE TURNING WORLD
In 2017, responding to a commission by the Westway Lab Festival (Guimarães), Luís Fernandes and Joana Gama composed an original work for piano, electronics and ensemble, that was premiered in April with Orquestra de Guimarães. The orchestration and arrangements by José Alberto Gomes amplified the sonority that characterises QUEST and the orchestra was taken out of its comfort zone. This work, titled “at the still point of the turning world” — a verse of poem “Burnt Norton” by T. S. Eliot —, was released in April 2018 by Australian labour Room40. At 26 Curtas Vila do Conde - International Film Festival they premiered a collaboration with Miguel C. Tavares on live visuals.
