Animent is a fusion of Nordic folk with neoclassical & industrial sounds using Norse instruments & voice. Mìchèal is a composer and multi instrumentalist with five albums released under the name of Broken Bird based between England and Portugal. Principally a guitarist and vocalist, he has always believed that music can bring a greater sense of consciousness. Animent is mostly a solo project though the first EP of this new project is a collaboration between Michael, Vicente Ribeiro & Vanessa Coelho. Shamanic percussion, tagelharpas, spirited melodies by Vanessa and deep throated sounds create emotive land scapes full of passion, desire and hope. Michael's instruments, tagelharpas and tyres, are individually crafted by friends. This gives each of them a unique and personal tone adding to the richness of the music.
Animent has performed in Sofar Lisbon.
