Pedro Lopes is a Chicago-based musician that plays turntables as a full-fledged musical instrument, which means they are bowed, percussed, scratched, subversed & hacked.
Pedro has played in venues such as Transmediale, Jazz em Agosto, Serralves Foundation, Ljubljana Jazz Festival, Experimental Sound Studio, Fylkingen, CCRMA, OutFest, Knockdown Center & Rescaldo and collaborated with many lovely artists: Carlos Zíngaro, André Gonçalves, Gabriel Ferrandini, Ondness, Pedro Sousa, Dj Sniff and in ensembles conducted by William Winnant (Zorn’s Cobra), Reinhold Friedl & Ernesto Rodrigues. Since 2023, Pedro has been learning/playing gamelan with the Chicago Javanese Gamelan. Listen to some of Pedro’s music on bandcamp or soundcloud or buy it on the store.
