Artist from Porto, now based in Lisbon, after time spent in Brazil, Spain and Italy, in a process of self discovery that reflects itself in her music, Ravenna Escaleira will have her debut at OUT.FEST with a body of work encompassing music, poetry and visual arts.
After her idiosyncratic and direct experiments with electronics under the RVN alias, which left a legacy of performances and digital releases that would go from raw noise to almost ambient textures, she has been developing her own language on the saxophone, playing in the streets. A lived experience that is reenacted through a deep lyricism, close to the most aching ballad, designed by the acoustic space it inhabits.
