LOS SARA FONTAN
Since ancient Greece, instrumental music has been feared for its ability to lead listeners into unrestrained, uncontrollable flights of imagination. Embracing this idea, Los Sara Fontan choose to explore the irrational, breaking away from classical modes of musical production and reproduction.
​
Violin, pedals, synthesizers , drums, triggers, pads, cowbells, and metal sheets make up the sonic arsenal of Los Sara Fontan. The duo, formed by Sara Fontan and Edi Pou, bases its creative process on the analog and digital manipulation of acoustic sound. Their practice is rooted in improvisation, the use of error as opportunity, and the physicality of the body and its sonic extensions as a source of raw material.
Their music is open source: they compose alongside other artists and constantly rework their own creations, opening them to collective and interdisciplinary experimentation. A fearless mix of influences—as disparate as classical music, hardcore punk, noise, IDM, or electroacoustic sound—serves as fuel for the development of their own language. This is pursued through a process of constant questioning of music’s standard routines: how to structure a song, how to conceive a live performance, how to exist within a music industry marked by individualism and the inertia of standardization.
For the first five years of their career, they deliberately avoided recording albums—a militant decision to resist conventional production cycles.
