The Berlin-based, pan-European Red List Ensemble is an experimental, free-improvising, and non-hierarchical collective, founded by Portuguese cellist Guilherme Rodrigues. The nine-musician ensemble’s textural, electroacoustic approach focuses on music created through patient, methodical timbral research and spontaneous improvisation, blending acoustic and electronic voices through experimental and extended techniques.

Fabrica de Lanificios (Wool Factory in Portuguese) is the ensemble’s sophomore album, following Scope (Creative Sources, 2020). The ensemble features Guilherme Rodrigues, his father, Portuguese violinist Ernesto Rodrigues (who heads the Creative Sources label), and percussionist Sofia Borges, Czech accordionist Vojta Drnek, Danish alto sax player Mia Dyberg (who also took the cover photo), German clarinettist Kai Fagaschinski, trombonist Matthias Müller, and double bass player Klaus Kürvers, and British modular synth player Richard Scott.
