Eli Gras
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
A multidisciplinary artist, Eli Gras is a self-starter who has worked in several creative fields, such as writing and design, aside from a long and fruitful career in experimental and underground music parallel to her “dada-pop” facet. She has released albums on La Olla Expréss Records: “Baranda”, “Duplicat” (with Pelayo Arrizabalaga), “Polo” and “El Avión”, (with Motor Combo) and “Obmuz” (Dude Tapes), appearing at “Deep Gray Organics” by Alain Wergifosse (Geometrik) and in festivals and labels compilations as ClassWar Karaoke, Ego Twister, Monster K7, Espais Netlabel, GTS, Nereida Prod... Musically she’s come a long way from the early ‘80: from experimental to electro-pop, through Greek music, minimalism, folk, choral, funk and free electronics, although her musical ways gravitate towards improvisation. An experimental luthier and concept designer, she’s created the sound-visual installation “Saló Sonor” and “Peeled Piano” and plays with Motor Combo (electropop), Pelayo Arrizabalaga, David Fenech or Juan Matos Capote, while working on parallel with her “UnPop” solo projects, amongst others. She is the director of the NoNoLogic Festival and publisher of the La Olla Expréss label.
