REYNOLS
REYNOLS started its activities in 1993 in Argentina. Since that date
the work of the band has been basically oriented to improvisation,
droning and deep experimental research, etc., employing diverse
acoustic & electric instruments, tapes and electronics. The group
is leaded by Miguel Tomasín, an amazing musician who suffers Down´s
Syndrome. The fact that Reynols integrates a handicapped member is
not casual, actually the band´s forrays into musical experimentation
are guided by the inmense freedom of Tomasín´s mind, giving a
challenging and unique character to this project.
The line-up is completed with musicians Robeto Conlazo & Anla Courtis.
In 1995 Reynols released the first dematerialized CD called "Gordura
Vegetal Hidrogenada". In 1996 they started releasing stuff outside
their country. At the moment the band has more than 50 releases in
Europe, USA and Japan.
During the years the band´s activities has included: concerts for
plants, tributes to dry ice, psychic energy refractions with
toothbrushes, noise performances in public squares, etc. the band
also has manofacturated selfdesigned electric guitars and other
electric instruments.
