WITTY, SURREAL, PASSIONATE CARTOONTATTOO

About Me


PSEUDO – EMIGRANT CABARET [Music for wasted jumpy fingers]
Foltin in short, is an unusual cast, whose music is hard to define, and every attempt to insert it into a musicalgenre wouldnot be very successful. Foltin’s music is surreal, passionate and witty, characterized with a frantic danceatmosphere, whichis achieved with the fast Macedonian rhythm. Even though they use standard musical elements, their approach increating theatmosphere is unpredictable and above all, original. In their musical identity the Anglo - Macedonian hybrid, is acollisionbetween the East and West. Their language is an imaginary mixture or phonetic imitation of the world languageslike: Spanish,French, Romanian, Portuguese... Their “spontaneous Esperanto”.
Foltin describe themselves as pseudo - emigrant cabaret, and often their concerts are turning into realperformances. It isnot a strange thing to imagine all that when you consider the fact that they have worked on a music for THEATREPERFORMANCES ,in which they are famous for using the ready-made “instruments” or creating ambient sound with objects fromunmusical primerfunction, construction of some kind sculptures and installations.
They took part in many musical and theatre FESTIVALS in Macedonia, Croatia, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Serbia,Bosnia andHerzegovina, Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, France and they have been awarded for their work many times.
The group exists since 1995 and so far they have published five albums:
* OUT RE-MER *
* ARCHIMED *
* DONKEY HOT *
* LO-LEE-TA-TOO *
* OVA TRANSPLANTIRANA MASHINA ZA CHUKANJE DOSEGA NE TIPKALA LJUBOVNO PISMO *
