As part of the National Windmill Days 2023, a sound performance installation took place at and in front of the Caixeiros windmill. Berlin-based sound artist Jutta Ravenna recorded the sounds of the windmill with microphones and processed them live on site in an improvisation with her special equipment, mobile and rotating speakers (Leslie speakers built from old Hammond organs and controlled by computer). By hoisting the sails and driving the windmill, the miller was an active part of the concert. The audience had the opportunity to follow the concert through the open door of the windmill and outside in the surrounding square the fantastic sound of the rotating Buzios and Jarras with the loudspeakers.
