  Released a vinyl edition by Three: Four Records last June, "Volume 2: Thirst and Death - Guitar Variations for the Thirsty and the Dead" is the new album from Philip Felizardo. Succeeds "Guitar Soli for the Moa and the Frog" (edited by Shhpuma in 2012), the disk that already expressed desire to deepen, to investigate, to construct note by note, moment to moment.

In "Thirst and Death" part two recording sessions, dated 2012 and 2013 (and separated by about a year), both animated by a sense of appreciation and gratitude: reached this point in your musical production, the resident guitarist Lisbon continues to walk a path that is yours, because it also assumes bluntly who has been following.

The A-side serves us three "covers" (second Felizardo) compositions of Peter Green, José Afonso and John Fahey. The rawness of the recording is a function of raw sincerity that Felizardo presents. What connects the original is more than just aesthetic taste. Memories are - as said, referring to "Song Pack" of José Afonso: ". (...) My dad used to sing it and play it for me" And what makes the league also will like a fish in water.

Not have to destroy and build complex. No renovations or re-stylizations of the original, but compositions of compositions. "The discs are made of disks' takes over. In its composition it is impossible not to notice the influence of approaches to Earth guitars and John Fahey: arid and radiant at the same time the "drone" first nature and the lingering resonance of the second.

The B side is an exquisite example of ethereal character and the tension that runs through the whole song Felizardo. The sudden stoppage works as a sign that we are facing a pervasive beauty, absorbent powerful. With a melodic base that makes up the guitar Felizardo the role of the rhythm section, the effect played by the "slide" of Norberto Lobo is the perfect accompaniment: resonant metal, almost small gusts of wind, intense and randomly spaced, companions in contemplation of the horizon, imposing in its apparent infinity.

Chosen tweezers, the title - taken from a range of timeless Carlos Paredes - and the cover - whose illustration is authored by Felizardo - so confirm. This is, moreover, sister of the "Dance of Death" by John Fahey, and both are based in medieval woodcuts of famous book "Dance of Death" (1448), a work centered on the theme of death and their representations, located in the Library the University of Heidelberg.

"Thirst and Death" is a tribute album. Tribute to Carlos Paredes, John Fahey, José Afonso and Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac mentor). Monsters Guitar Felizardo considers that some form of artistic bases from which emerges their language, where sound and silence are of equal value; in other words, in that silence does not anticipate before dissipating. Because the influences are just that, and because I took them bluntly is, after all, a sincere position before others, musicians or non-musicians.

Contemporary of Manuel Mota and Norberto Lobo, Felizardo fully embrace the movement in the opposite direction in a world where everything is for yesterday, everything has date of minimum durability, every second is almost a matter of life or death.

Besides the solo musical production, as a member of Black Flag, and ephemeral partnerships with Margarida Garcia, Pedro Sousa, Riccardo Wanke, etc., also develops relief work in the field of fine arts, in the authorship of several concert posters and publications limited edition of illustration and photography. There the doubly praise: the path traversed so far, with identity, with passion and dedication; sincerity and courage, in a context where the logic that prevails, coercive in nature and penetrating intensity, is the new, to the unknown, the exclusive; whatever that is.
