7TH APRIL 2013, A38 (BUDAPEST, HUNGARY)
Considerable workload, a hard drive that died unexpectedly, the return to Portugal and consequent change of life. It took more than two years until I could recover these photos, but I believe that the end result was worth the wait. This Soft Moon concert in April 2013 at A38 boat in Budapest, Hungary, was the second we had the pleasure of watching by this band and even at that time I felt, at first contact, that many of the photographs had a latent potential to be special. I believe the delay turned out to their benefit for various reasons since I am better now at the technical proficiency side of things and because of my current way of looking at things. The pulsating rhythm of the music, the frantic chaos of lights and smoke, the intense energy that the band distills live without the use of scenic aid of any kind. It's visceral, almost sexual and reminds me of the early days of my dear The Young Gods that so often I’ve seen them live. These images are the embodiment of that moment, of those emotions and sensations.
