Rafael Toral, born in Lisbon, 1967 has been intrigued by the potential of sound and the functions of music since he was a teenager. As a producer, composer and performer, he has been deeply involved with Rock, Ambient, Contemporary, Electronic and Free Jazz music in different periods of his life. Returning with his latest album, Spectral Evolution, not only to the DIY electronics that fueled his Space Program series, but also to the electric guitar of his 1990s work, the Portuguese musician has found new inspiration, embracing rich textures and jazz harmonies.
