Dwelling

Dwelling terminou. 2000-2008



Nada é eterno.



É com pesar que comunicamos o fim de Dwelling.



Morre assim este projecto, sem direito a velório ou um Requiem que cante a sua glória. Deixa-nos a nós muitas saudades, memórias de muitas alegrias e algumas vitórias, ao lado de algumas lágrimas e correspondentes derrotas.



Aproveitamos para agradecer a quem nos apoiou, a quem nos amou, e a todos aqueles que nos criticaram também - já que pelo menos não ficaram indiferentes.



Obrigado por tudo,

Dwelling



Dwelling is now over. 2000-2008



Nothing is eternal.



Unfortunately we have decided to terminate Dwelling.



The project ends, denied of a proper wake or even a requiem to sing its glory. All the band members will surely miss it, for it will still live in our hearts, in our memories of joy and triumph as well as of tears in our moments of defeat.



We would like to thank all that have supported us over the years, all who loved us, and even those who remained very critical of our work - at least they were not indifferent.



Thank you all

Dwelling



Dwelling's

birth dates back to 98 as a solo project by Nuno Roberto. Keeping in mind the

creation of music based solely on acoustic instruments, he collected melodies

and fragments of varied inspiration, often conceived having the seaside landscape

of the Algarve as background.



In the year 2000, the need to enrich the project's musical framework and to turn it into a more established entity would ultimately lead to the recruiting of additional members: Sílvia Freitas, on violin, Catarina Raposo, on vocals, Jaime Ferreira, on bass guitar, and Helder Dias, on guitar.



During the writing process that ensued, the band wrote down the general guidelines

for new songs, and, finally, the turn of the year 2001 met the band finalizing

the five pieces that they would later record during the course of March 2001 and

which they presented on "Moments", the bands debut MCD on Equilibrium

Music.



In September 2002, and following various live performances in support of "Moments", Helder Dias left the band, having been replaced shortly after by Nicholas Ratcliffe. The two months that followed were spent preparing the recording sessions for their new material, as well as another set of live shows, which would take them to Madrid for an appearance at the Arcana Europa international festival.



The first full-length album, "Humana", was recorded during the winter of

2002/2003, and released via their label Equilibrium

Music in October on that same year. The band spent the end of 2003 and

the whole year in 2004 promoting it, featuring in numerous concerts all over Portugal,

and a couple of trips abroad to perfom at Rome and Modena, in Italy, and also

at Liepzig, Germany, where they were a part of the prestigious Wave Gotik Treffen.



Closing the cicle on "Humana", Dwelling

welcomed two new members - Moritz Branco, for classical guitar, thus replacing

Nicholas Ratcliffe, and Alexandra Bochmann, for violin. The years 2005 and 2006 were devoted to the preparation of the sucessor of "Humana".

After numerous delays, “Ainda é Noite” would see the light of day in April 2007, followed by the usual live appearances supporting it.
