Polido is a Portuguese musician and artist from Marinha Grande, currently residing in Lisbon. His work is rooted in a materialist approach to sound, exploring themes of cultural memory, tradition, technology, music history, and socio-politics. Polido's music conveys these concepts through a personal vocabulary, creating surreal narratives for concrete spaces. His artistic expression manifests in various forms, including concerts, mixes, texts, talks, listening sessions, and exhibitions at notable venues such as Batalha - Centro de Cinema, ICA London, the 12th Berlin Biennale, MAAT, Sismógrafo*, NTS Radio, Sonsbeek 20->24*, Ruhr Ding*, and Spirit Shop. Additionally, Polido runs the embryonic label Projecto de Vida, where he organizes evenings of music and conversation. His music has been released by labels including ANA, Holuzam, Bus Editions, Lynn, Left Alone, and c-.
