O Manipulador

O Manipulador is Manuel Molarinho's one-man-band, influenced by alternative rock bands and DIY ethics, which finds inspiration in abandoned industrial landscapes, the rhythms and melodies of conversations and experimentation. The musician's originality has involved creating pieces and songs using only the bass, pedals, loop station and voice, giving the bass the main role of percussion, textural and melodic instrument. ‘Doppler’ is O Manipulador's fourth record. It's a set of 9 markedly autobiographical and reflective themes, which are a point of arrival in his artistic phase, presenting less essayistic characteristics and more concerned with the final result of the songs.
