About
Artomatico. The current project i am more focused is ARTOMATICO + FLAMENCO, Following several years of laboratory work, this is a music project which leads old flamenco to extreme avant-garde sound, but without giving up its tradition, its essence. All of the sound elaboration stems from the genre’s rhythmic body, from the soleá, seguiriya, tangos, bulerías. And if even so the essence were questioned, there bridging the gap between history and the future are the voices of La Niña de los Peines, Rafael Romero, Juan Talega... and even the footwork of Carmen Amaya and other historic sounds treated, transformed, deconstructed... and jondo. It will appear thus on a soon-to-be-released album. the live show knocks the experiment up a notch.
As a live concert; Artomatico conceives the stage as a setting where music happens. And that means freedom, improvisation, a unique experience every time, every concert. The machines pave the way for dialogue, an open dialogue in strung-together jam sessions, participated in by the multicultural percussions of Nacho Arimany, the melodix instruments of guests artist ( jazz or flamenco instruments) and the prodigious contemporary flamenco dancing of Rafael Estévez and Nani Paños. And the thing is that Artomatico + Flamenco “is a space for communication and improvisation based on the rhythm of flamenco styles”.
