Dolina is quite an adventurous ride like no other. My "partner in crime", Tiago Martins, is one of the most exciting musicians I know. He's constantly searching for new ways to express himself and push the music to the fullest. During his free time between finishing a Jazz degree and playing for many different projects from the R&B and the Dance-Electronic scene of Lisbon, he created a dangerous machine: an instantly reactive synth activated by the bass frequencies that ultimately would work as a third member of Dolina, the original one. Although Tiago codes the machine to react in a certain way to the music, the outcome is always a mystery. We do our best to immerse ourselves in it so that we keep the magic while trying to reach a hopefully exciting unknown.

"P" (2021)
The first studio experience of Dolina is now available on every major streaming platform in the form of an EP by the letter "P". All the tracks came together on the spot without any prior composition of any kind. Everything you hear is the result of a one-day 8-hour session where I, Tiago and the mighty machine explore our deepest feelings and apprehensions hunting us on that warm August day of 2019.
We recorded in Camaleão Studios in Lisbon, Portugal. Francisco Duque engineered the session. Filipe Paes mixed the tracks. Luis Lucena mastered all of it. Tiago Martins is responsible for the beautiful artwork.
