About Me

In 2007, we started a musical project called UOM. It is a multi-disciplinary project where the focus is non-traditional instruments and performance technique. We make music with handmade bells (made of slice gas tanks), sheet metal, copper pipes, all sorts of percussion, cello, heavily processed electric guitar, bass, melodica, whistles, toy instruments, harmoniums, typewriters, synths, , etc... "UOM" stands for Unheard Of Music, but also happens to be an acronym for "Union Obrera Metalurgica", the steel workers' union in Argentina, which has always been at the center of heated political discussion. Ironically, a great deal of our music is based on metal percussion, with its unpredictable harmonics and rough edges. After starting on the path of experimental performance, we started developing the theatrical & comical aspects that come naturally from playing unusual instruments. We have taken this exploratory approach to collaborations with other disciplines. We often improvise along contemporary dancers; we perform in artist-designed sets, and amid video projections.Our performances are unusual, entretaining, and provoking.
