with Pedro Melo Alves and Guilherme Rodrigues

Rafael Toral (Lisbon, 1967) has been exploring the connection between sound and music since he was a teenager. He pioneered blends of drone minimalism with rock as in Wave Field, the free-jazz inspired experimental electronics of the Space Program, and has recently synthesized all the above on guitar-based Spectral Evolution (Feb. 2024), his new major album.
