The new music project "Alexander Search" ft. Eurovision Winner Salvador Sobral

[SarahChoi]

 

Alexander Search is an English-speaking band originating from South Africa but currently based in Europe – more specifically, in Portugal, "a seaside garden paradise" in the words of the country's greatest poet, Fernando Pessoa. Their music is a mix of several influences: indie-pop, electronic music and rock. Most of the lyrics have been written by Alexander Search, a member of the band who tragically died at a young age – but who also managed to earn the respect of his peers as "the greatest conquerer of the beauty of words".
Augustus Search is the band's composer, musical director, pianist and synthesizer player. Benjamin Cymbra is an extraordinary singer whose voice carries the spirit of rock'n'roll from the past, and the anxieties and hopes of the present. The future "is the possibility of everything", Pessoa also used to say.
Sgt. William Byng is in charge of live electronics and computers. Marvel K. plays an edgy and spacey guitar. And Mr. Tagus, a former jazz drummer, still finds the greatest riches in the music and groove of Africa.
Alexander Search is a daring and impatient band, always, always looking for quintessence. They have never found it. This album is the story of yet another failed attempt.

 

Disclaimer: This project is based on the heteronyms of Fernando Pessoa from when he lived in South Africa, the musicians are all portuguese although they took the rule of one of Fernando Pessoa's heteronyms each.
