About this album

Javier Areal Vélez - prepared guitar Jorge Espinal - prepared guitar Agustín Genoud - voice Pablo Verón - drums and MPC250 All compositions by John Cage; Arrangements by CALATO. CALATO is an improvisation and experimental composition quartet from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Its work draws from free jazz, punk, and abstract noise while exploring the possibilities of music notation and graphic scores in convergence with free improvisation, deep listening and explosive interaction. CALATO's sound is based around two wildly attacked prepared guitars, a drum set played with chopsticks, and an amplified voice that does all sort of things, most of which you wouldn't call "singing". It was formed in 2010, since then CALATO has performed widely in Argentina, Uruguay (2014) and Brasil (2016, 2017) and is planning an upcoming tour around Europe for 2023.
