Tarta RelenaES/CAT
Since 2019, Helena Ros and Marta Torrela have joined their voices to transmute the oral tradition of the Mediterranean from an experimental sensibility, which resonates with followers of folk and classical music, as well as avid avant-garde ears. From the voice and the most subtle electronic treatments, the sound of Tarta Relena expands through time and space, to rescue old songs and stories charged with fervor, which are reborn with a new shine in hypnotic and fascinating recordings and recitals. In addition to her debut at MUTEK MX at Nocturne 360, Tarta Relena is part of the ensemble that will accompany Marina Herlop at A/Visions 2.
For Tarta Relena, folklore and oral tradition are still alive and in constant evolution, willing to be shaped with modern tools to recontextualize their meaning, without diluting their ancient essence. From this approach, Helena and Marta reconnect us with stories and cosmogonies in Spanish, Catalan, Greek, Latin, English and Sephardic from the purity of sound, curiosity and intuition. The duo has released three albums Fiat Lux (Indian Runners, 2021) the most recent and a couple of EPs that have taken them to tour museums, festivals, cathedrals and forums, including editions of MUTEK in Montreal and Japan.
Tarta Relena is part of the #FrenteCatalan Front for this edition along with Marina Herlop, Shoeg, Albert-Barque Durán and Alba G. Corral. Their participation is possible thanks to Institut Ramon Llull.
