Biography
João J.G. Gargaté was born in Portugal (Castelo de Vide)..
His career started when he was very young, first doing drawings and paintings (winning several prizes at school ,the first one in the age 7), and then the first steps in music with an acoustic classical guitar.
Some years later started to join a theatre company and other smaller theatre groups . Playing in few pieces as secondary actor, but mainly working as light and sound technician .
Having a big passion for electronic music, started to create and explore sounds and atmospheres with a guitar synthesizer and some self made electronic effects and modules.
Getting into the spirit of rock of the 70’s, later the 80..s , started to keep both styles in two parallel categories; electronic and pop/rock, that he does still today.
Composing music for theatre (pieces from Samuel Beckett till Brecht, etc), performers “The new wild group”(live acts with live music), painters(live concerts for exhibition openings , for example at Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes,Gulbenkian,etc), documentaries, publicity and other events. All these works based in the electronic style.
Winner of the third place at the 2nd Edition of Rock Rendez-Vous Modern Music Contest in Lisbon.
Leaving Portugal in the end of 1985 to Germany (Frankfurt am Main, Ruesselsheim). During his 15 years there, he worked with several musicians,djs and bands(for example Call of the Wild, playing guitar, keyboards, and as co/producer).
Now living and working in his own recording studio, in Portugal(Lisbon), preparing a new album; you can listen two of the songs that will be included in it “Will I see you again?” and “Angel in the night” both from 2008.
Hope you enjoy my work…
