Concert Proposal: Tiago Sousa presenting new album

Press Quotes:

A beginning observation would be that this music is very filmic—dark, reflective, reminiscent of Erik Satie at times, but somehow more free and intuitive. Sousa’s piano melodies weave in and out of the piece like inner thoughts flowing in a natural setting, and he mimics this beloved state remarkably well—some ideas fleeting, some latched onto and developed for however long, then discarded.
Foxydigitalis, Travis Bird

Another one of those incredible records that appears out of nowhere and absolutely floors us - housed in a sublime vinyl edition printed up in an extremely limited run - fans of Nils Frahm, Peter Broderick, Rachels, Max Richter or The Necks - DO NOT MISS!!!!!
Boomkat

With Insonia, Tiago Sousa cements his place as one of the most distinct voices to emerge out of the current wellspring of piano driven minimalism.
The Silent Ballet, Andrew Whitaker

Walden Pond’s Monk is a quietly crafted and affecting appreciation of Henry David Thoreau built mainly around Sousa’s understated and fluid approach to solo piano work, complemented by the clarinet of Ricardo Ribeiro and the percussion of Baltazar Molina
The Liminal, Matt Poacher

Tracks like “Pendulo” owes a great deal to the minimalism of Satie while the liberal use of the sustaining pedal on trawling arpeggios in “Reflexo” also pays its dues to the French masters of the time. For the most part though, Sousa is a success in telling a narrative in his own musical language. (…) 
Towards the end of Walden, Thoreau concludes on the essential drive in man to break away from the pack: “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
And it’s clear that Sousa keeps to his own pace, independent from any current thought on how the music industry ought to work.
Icrates, Arjun Harindranath


Technical Needs:
I’ll only need a Piano (acoustic or digital piano with 88 weighted keys). If you have a piano please send me details on what's it's conditions, (if it's too old, if it's tuned or can be tuned, etc...) it's brand and model.


Fee and other need:
I need a place to stay, for a couple of days depending on the travel plan, and I'm asking 200€ for each concert.
