Boxer Coaster, Othon Mataragas

OTHON is a composer, songwriter and a pianist. During the last few years Othon has been performing increasingly less as a conventional pianist and more as a creator of his own works. He has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, from poets and dancers to fellow composers and bands including Peter Christopherson (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, Coil), Stephen Montague, the Elysian Quartet, Lee Adams, Julie Tolentino, Current 93, Black Sun Productions, Dominic Johnson, Vaginal Davies and Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo.

In 2006 Othon formed a long-term collaboration with actor/singer/performer Ernesto Tomasini. Othon & Tomasini have been performing Othon’s songs around the UK and in Europe in venues as diverse as churches, concert halls and theatres (Queen Elizabeth Hall – London, Teatro al Albeitar – León, Riverside Studios – London, Royal Exchange Theatre – Manchester, Palacio de la Ahondiga – Zamora, Festsalen Concert Hall – Copenhagen), museums and art centres (Centro de Arte Contemporànea – Santiago de Compostella, International Museum of Applied Arts Today – Turin) and even in seedy London underground club nights (Kaos, HustlaBall). In November 2009, Othon & Tomasini performed at the Roundhouse, London, as Marc Almond‘s special guests, in front of a captive audience of 3000.

That’s where this performance is from, a nice experiment on piano. (Song proposed by Sophie, thanks x 1000)
