~ Refractor On Tour x Outra Cena ~
We’re very happy to announce that on Saturday, May 3rd, we’ll be in Lisbon for the first time, presenting the festival in a very special place with Trois-Quarts Taxi System, Convoluted Mental Mirror and bipolar
Trois-Quarts Taxi System is a producer, live performer, and sonic artisan whose craft thrives in hybridity—untethered by genre, yet deeply rooted in exploration. His soundscapes unfold like dreamlike terrains, where dubstep, techno, electroacoustic echoes, and bursts of dnb coalesce into a swirling constellation of rhythm and texture. Through futuristic sound design, raw field recordings, and intricate polyrhythms, he sculpts immersive and cerebral voyages—hypnotic, unpredictable, and steeped in a psychedelia that dissolves the boundaries between structure and instinct, machine and landscape.
Convoluted Mental Mirror (Emilia Grima & Jan Swam) is a project that challenges the boundaries of sound and perception, blending sound and visual art. With a forward-thinking vision and a shared passion for creative experimentation, CMM embarks on a journey of aesthetic discovery, venturing into uncharted territories. Their sets are an immersive experience that hypnotically blends various complex percussive elements, enveloping the listener. Their music evokes ancestral rhythms intertwined with futuristic soundscapes, creating a unique atmosphere with each journey.
bipolar — aka Luca Morniroli — is an Italian-born, Lisbon-based sonic explorer whose work flows between tension and release, instinct and precision. Co-founder of No Man’s Land and editor at T-Mag, he bridges the dancefloor and discourse of contemporary club culture. Inspired by his upbringing near Lago Maggiore, his sets mirror nature’s cycles—pulsing with the intensity of techno, trance, and tribe, yet opening into ambient stillness and introspection. For Luca, bipolar is not just a name, but a reflection of his artistic duality: navigating the edge between machine and soul, chaos and control.
