"PINEAL" SHOWCASE FEAT. HALL, ALMOND AND TOMASINI
Othon’s ambitious “Pineal” launch show in London on June 19 was a feast of a concert featuring special guests such as Marc Almond, Martin Hall, Bird Radio and Ernesto Tomasini. You can visit the Pineal event page or Othon’s facebook profile to see pictures and find further info.
Accompanied by Othon on acoustic piano and Johnny Stage on mandolin, Hall performed the track “Emblematic” for a packed and most enthusiastic venue. One of many feedbacks described the Danish singer’s appearance as “a perfect touch of exquisite moodiness”, a cool contribution of Scandinavian star quality within the night’s abundance of rhythms and orchestral arrangements.
"Othon's show was immersive and mercurial." (QX magazine)
"Operating in a glorious field of his own, Othon Mataragas makes shamanic cabaret for profane saints and sublime madmen." (The Guardian)
“From the mournful violin and intense flute to the tribal drums and soaring falsetto of Tomasini, this was the musical equivalent of opening a fairy tale pop-up book and watching the characters jump out and dance around your head.” (Trebuchet Magazine)
MARTIN HALL ON STAGE WITH MARC ALMOND IN LONDON
On Thursday the 19th of June Martin Hall performs at a concert in London where he’ll be sharing the stage with legendary British singer Marc Almond. Both performers have been invited to appear as special guests at Othon Mataragas’ first major concert in the city for more than one and a half year. The event will take place at The Garage.
Martin Hall recently worked with Othon Mataragas on the singer’s critically acclaimed solo album Phasewide, Exit Signs. The record was released in Germany and several other European countries in October 2013 where it has received brilliant reviews.
