Nuno Silva

A self-learner from the get-go, Nuno has further advanced his career by studying with great masters of various music styles from around the world; such as Ali Bahramifard (santur), Gürsel Torun (oud) and Haleem Khatib (kanun), among others. He learned deeply by traveling across the Middle East and Central Asia regions, where he explored contrasting music cultures. After delving into many classical and folk music forms, he seamlessly adapted his learnings to more contemporary and various other music genres, with a unique take on eastern and western music interaction. Nuno has extensive recording and performing experience with many musical projects, in diverse styles such as world, medieval, folk and fusion music. He toured extensively in England, France, Germany and Spain, with renowned artists such as Efren Lopez and Meridianum among others.While Nuno’s style is heavily influenced by middle eastern classical music, his native and constant contact with western music lends him the ability to adapt his instruments' sounds to a myriad of musical settings, adding an exotic signature touch to his works. He has extensive improvisation skills and prefers working with audio or midi stems complemented with scores.
