O l l i n

Ollin (means 'movement' in Aztec) was formed in 2005 as a duo of Juan R Leõn and Radek Kordasiewicz. 2007 saw the premiere of Never Forget, the band's debut album, including a guest appearance by Janusz Kruszelnicki on saxophone.

In 2008 Juan R Leõn left the project which soon turned into one of a bigger lineup with drummer Reed Hayes, guitarist Bill Forth and vocalist Troy Southgate joining Radek for a second album, The Opium Trail, released in 2010.

Afterwards Ollin went on a two year hiatus until mid 2012, when works on a compilation album titled Up And Away have started. Aiming to collect rare and unreleased recording's of the project, it was released in July 2013 and included one new, title tune recorded by Hayes, Forth, Kordasiewicz and Leõn, who returned to the project for this occasion. Up And Away was planned as the last of the project's releases and after its premiere it was announced that Ollin is over.

2015 sees however the return of Ollin as a duo of Juan R Leõn and Radek Kordasiewicz. With a new album in the works the members are already making plans for a distant future. The movement continues.

Also working with the band were artists and photographers- Mariusz Grzemski (on Never Forget), Joanna Nowak and Sławomir Pisz (on The Opium Trail).
Photographer Vesna Stojkovic is currently working with Ollin.
