2/ L’OCELL

L’Ocell is a duo made up of Àlex Reviriego (double bass) and Fernando Carrasco (guitar
acoustics). His music, freely improvised, seeks a sound close to what we could
called acoustic noise, modeling drones and primitive and cathartic soundscapes. Passages of
dark beauty, reminiscent of psych folk and early music, are interfered with and violated
by abrupt appearances of metallic sounds, chaotic percussions and amorphous noises. The oases of
harmony are degraded and destroyed like a construction abandoned to the implacable effects of the
time and nature. They have published three albums, “L'Ocell” (Absent Tapes, 2018), “Absents” (Zona
Watusa, 2020) and “El Declivi” (Tripticks Tapes, 2022), the latter with Ferran Fages as a guest.
