SOMA.Rec Is an Experimental Music Band born in the mid 90's. Initially it
was integrated by musician and painter Ivan Jordà and Guitar player and
composer Tete Pérez; both the ones to set the bases of the group,
composing the first songs and structures of SOMA.Rec music. At first
very influenced by bands such as King Crimson, Gong, Can, or Embryo
but rapidly achieving a personal style.
At the end of the 90's Bass and Double bass Player, and also painter,
Marc Prat joins the band along with drums player Angel Abad... In all this
period all the efforts and time were dedicated in finding formulas to play
music that permitted at the same time breaking with traditional harmonies
and structures following improvisational patterns built slowly in time,
starting in understanding music as a GAME, and having as a result an
always fresh show and, over all, always different.
February 2001 Ivan Jordà Leaves the band, after two great concerts in
Library-Bar Arcadia, and the band keeps on playing but some times in
duo or Trio. May 2001 SOMA.Rec records a live concert in Argentona, in
where piano and keyboards player Marc Trullàs joins the group, as well
as Saxophone player Furmi, resulting the "Free Action" improvisation,
also recorded.
