Born in Yokohama, Japan of Portuguese/Irish/Japanese heritage, and raised a Catholic in a Buddhist land, hybridization defines Fernandes' world view. Hybrid Vigor offers a sampling of his musical process, a narrative style incorporating improvisation, avant rock, trance and sound art.

"...a fabulous album - probably the most impressive showcase of the varied talents of the collective and of Fernandes compositional and creative skills." - Jeremy Keens, Ampersand, etc. (Australia)
"Eccentric, self-indulgent, occasionally humorous, with more than a bucketful of talent in each of the thirteen people involved."
"Dieses aussergewöhnliche Album ist ein experimentelles, improvisatives Hybrid, ein Meilenstein moderner Musik. Wurzeln und Zukunft in einem. Ein Muss."
