Marlon Random is the alias of Luis Bestard, a Barcelona based drummer, bon vivant, translator, historian and so many other things I don't remember.
I've been touring extensively with bands like el Diablo en el Ojo, Suite and Trailer (now known as Nova Ternura) and have sporadically played with people with inmense talent such as The Marzipan Man and Petit. Recently, I joined Jacques Casanova and his Dandys, Román Romanovich's band, italian popstar and psychedelic bishop and started a new project with songwriter and computer programmer Pablo MartÃnez.
My style is spontaneous and vibrant, think of Levon Helm or the incredible Glenn Kotche from Wilco... but I'm sorry, I'm completely unable to play jazz, electroacoustic music or traditional turkish ballads.
The click is the wave I surf... I love it, I hate it... but somehow we managed to come to terms and record together several drum tracks in some 4 long play recordings (see list below).
I love north american folk music, what is commonly named americana; my reference bands are My Morning Jacket (those awesome Kentucky bastards), Will Oldham (GOD), Wilco, Son Volt (vaya una panda de guiris!!!), Songs:Ohia (want to feel depressed?), etc... I love simple drum lines with feeling, those mild tempoed patterns that make you hit the floor alternatively with your feet.
On the other side I also listen to a wide range of styles, from old skool electro to bossanova or all that bunch of musical geniuses included in the THRILL JOCKEY label.
Please take some time and check some of my work listening to the songs I include here.
I have recorded so far:
"Nit"___El Diablo en el Ojo, Primeros pasitos (2001)
"Diablomar"___El Diablo en el Ojo, Primeros Pasitos (2003)
"Delayed City"____Trailer, Unreleased (2004)
"Piezas Contentas"____Suite, Astro (October 2007)
Would love to hear any suggestion and comments from you all.DUQUE DELLATE
