Nuno Canavarro

Nuno Canavarro is a Portuguese composer. He studied architecture in Porto. He learned to play piano at a very young age and was in a band called the Street Kids. He also played with the Portuguese band Delfins, and with Carlos Maria Trindade. He is also responsible for the 1988 experimental music recording Plux Quba. This record was a strong influence on the sound of many postmodern electronic musicians, including Mouse on Mars and Jim O'Rourke. O'Rourke re-released Plux Quba on his own Moikai label in 1999.
