Videos from Teatro Turim

I played in Teatro Turim last Saturday. Nice, lovely ambient theatre in Benfica - district of Lisbon. I liked it very much.

Why do the videos look so "artistic"? Because somehow the recording of the pictures was not good enough so we had to put some effects on it... :) But the sound was great...
