TMI by ON (Efrén López & Marianna Sangita)

ON is the being made out of the borderless curiosity, fearlessness and excitement which lives in the minds and hearts of Efrén López Sanz and Marianna Sangita Angeletaki Røe. The music of ON does not confine itself within specific genres or styles of music, but rather likes to go between them playfully, using elements from not only styles but also languages and cultures.

Efrén López Sanz is a multiinstrumentalist and composer with deep knowledge of both ancient musical traditions and modern ones, and Marianna Sangita Angeletaki Røe is a singer, percussionist, lyricist and composer coming from a pop/jazz background and an interest in various musical traditions. A greek/spanish/valencian/norwegian melting pot is represented on “TMI”, their first EP.

Composed, arranged, recorded and produced at a distance in Mas de Flors (Spain) and Trondheim (Norway), this project grew out of a thirst for wanting to experiment and keeping the creative process alive without saying no to new ideas. Lyrically, ON's universe is one where nature is in the forefront. Texts exploring movements in nature and its link to the human condition, its importance and its power. Sonically it is complex and compelling - each song carrying a strong sonic identity of its own.

Creating “TMI” has been a journey of exploration. Hopefully listening to it can be that, too.
