About Me
How I made my profile:
I used MyWackoSpace.com 's amazing MySpace Editor ."ebbandflow" comes from the English expression ebb and flow, denoting both the course of water as it flows among the pebbles it encounters in its path, as well as the rise and fall of the tides and the movement of ocean waters. ebbandflow reflects the flow of water, in short, the impermanence and natural change which touches everything: life, ourselves and our music. ebbandflow could be understood as a principle of harmony, but it also implies inexorable change.Our group was conceived in the spring of 2003. When participating in a covers project called strings n things that originated in 2002, Edna Sey and Enric Puigdesens decided to start up a project featuring their own ideas.Enric had already written a number of his own compositions, and asked long-time friend Toni Serrat if hed like to join in. In July 2003 the two began recording with what would become the first configuration of the band. Three songs came out of those recording sessions: Long cold evening, I will remember you, and Ivied land.The group was extended in February 2004 to include members Jaume Jimmy Gau on guitar and trumpet, Marc Parereda on guitar and the stick, Anna Miralpeix at the keyboards, Edna Sey vocalist, Enric Puigdesens on bass and vocals, and Toni Serrat on drums.This group began to work on the sound and songs of the band, and decided to record a CD with four tracks to promote the new group. We began recording on April 24, 2004, and brought in Albert Bartolomé on sax. The band, now complete, debuted with a concert at the Casino de Borgonyà on August 18, and later played in Vic on the 20th. On October 9 we presented out mini CD to FNAC Diagonal Mar de Barcelona. It contains four songs: Long cold evening, Home, I will remember you, and Ivied Land.After a year of work, the band decided at the end of 2005 that there were ready to record the new songs theyd composed during 2005. The new ebbandflow CD was completed at the end of February 2006, and was produced at the studios of Michael Records in Figueres. This work reveals the current slant of the Barcelona group, and forms a collection of the most recent songs under the title of The Mask, which is also one of the most representative pieces of ebbandflow.In their live performances, the seven musicians surprise and captivate the audience from the first to last song in a repertoire that has been strengthened on every step their journey. Music and lyric permeate the air in ever unfolding waves, and transport the listeners to a world where the spirit resounds, awakening in all an unsuspected, dynamic and vibrant awareness.Musical surprises capture the audience, and extend an invitation to join the band on a musical adventure. The utilization of exotic instruments such as the Indian tablas and the stick arrests your attention and fills your ears to brimming with the sonority unique to ebbandflow.By uniting all of their skills, the seven musicians communicate in a musical language created via diverse styles. Through a great unleashing of sounds and voices, ebbandflow reveals a quality of musicianship, an elegance of form, and a capacity to create attractive and characteristic sonorous environments.
