An oyster is something alive, unshaped and eventually "ugly" at first sight, but ready to be opened revealing beautiful precious little things (pearls). The concept was adapted for radio: small (< 2 minutes), strange and apparently unshaped stories, working like extra short pictures, with a clear cut output based on sound impressions. Some of them are based on wonderful brief literary scripts (granted by universal authors like Mark Twain or Paul Auster), commonly tempered with a touch of irony. Others are based on original words written by the portuguese author Pedro Coelho. All of them are painted with creative soundscapes, being sometimes only sounds (with no words), always reflecting love for acoustic art. Usually they end up with a surprise effect. Like a true open oyster … in a glance.

Giant Oyster – Soundscape of Portugal
What if you suddenly jump into a discrete and surrealistic corner of a surprisingly unknown country, although quite close to your backyard? What if you open your mind, your ears? What people would you discover? What suggestive words, ideas and sounds would get your attention? Do they give you an essential feeling of that place? Will you get something new, or unexpected?
That’s it: with a 15 minute sound picture you’ll be guided through a peculiar itinerary of contemporary urban Portugal, with no big sentences, no touristic clichés... just the unreal real thing. Will you get it?
