Archive material and source history
Microchip formed in 1987 with João Lopes on vocals and synthesizers and Paulo Mourao on drums and programming. Their debut album 'O Que Te Faz' became a notable release in Portugal, built around ethereal melodies and hypnotic rhythms that stood apart from more conventional music of the time.
Over time, the band's lineup included other musicians like guitarist António Manuel Ribeiro, bassist Pedro Oliveira, and keyboardist Ricardo Dias. They released seven studio albums across three decades, with songs like 'O Sonho' and 'Paraíso' joining 'O Que Te Faz' as some of their better-known work.
Their sound relied heavily on synthesizers, samplers, and drum machines at a time when electronic instrumentation was still finding its footing in popular music. While some establishment figures criticized their approach, the music connected with listeners who appreciated its different textures and moods.
