about
There are at least two artists operating under the name Atolón: 1. Atolón is a rock band from Argentina. The band was formed in 2016 and released its first album in 2017. The band describes its style as a combination of blues, rock and ballad. As influences, they cite great ones from the Argentine scene like Charly García, Luis Alberto Spinetta and Gustavo Cerati, while also numbering traditional anglo acts like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. 2. Ferran Fages: acoustic turntable Ruth Barberán: trumpet, amplified objects Alfredo Costa Monteiro: accordion This trio is composed by some of the most active musicians in improvised music in Spain. Formed in 2003, its members share an intense experience together since 1998. The music is strictly improvised. The approach of each instrument is made through an atypical use of the instrument itself, but also through extensions which are not especially musical. There is indeed an apparently contemplative tendency in this music, but the sudden structural changes and frequent cuts also create moments of high tension that take the music out of this state of contemplation and bring it to where sound exists in its own abrupt and immediate presence. …There’s something afoot on the Iberian Peninsula and it sounds damn good… Dan Warburton User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
