Joana Carvalhas - Indoor Thoughts

Indoor Thoughts by Joana Carvalhas

Loops, improvisations, and a violin... Three elements that normally are not presented

simultaneously on the stage. Determined to change that, Joana Carvalhas decided to create

an innovative project that changes the musical stigma associated with the violin as she

explores this new approach.

Her project Indoor Thoughts ventures new timbres and textures, where the listener

will hear improvisations on top of different harmonies and rhythms percussed on her

instrument. In some moments, she even uses her voice to complement original compositions

and give them a more ‘human touch’.

Using a loopstation to create diverse layers of sound, she paints unique landscapes

allowing the audience to travel into dreamy places and realities. Her expressive violin

performances sync with the listeners' emotions cultivating an audacious performance that

amazes the audience while providing an unforgettable sonorous experience.
