+++ THE PROJECT +++
E.A.R. (from ἔαρ, the ancient Greek word for spring) is the new electric project leaded by Efrén López, better known as an acoustic multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer and music theory teacher in the scenes of World, Traditional and Early Music in Europe and the Middle East.
After working as a session guitarist for more than a decade, he got specialized on traditional instruments of the Middle Ages, the Mediterranean and the Middle East such as: hurdy gurdy, oud (fretless Arabic / Turkish / Persian lute), Turkish bağlama, Afghan rabab, or fretless classical guitar, among many others. That's how he spent the last 25 years, traveling, studying and performing Early and traditional music all over Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia, sharing stage with some of the greatest artists of those styles like: Jordi Savall, Ross Daly, L'Ham de Foc, Trio Petrakis / López / Chemirani, Daud Khan, Parvathy Baul...
After all those experiences, he decided to apply the vast knowledge acquired after decades studing Medieval, Arabic, Turkish, Greek, Indian music systems to an electric context through the experimentation on microtonal scales, odd rhythm measures and other features of various non-Western traditions, combining his electric instruments (e-hurdy gurdy, e-fretless guitar, e-sitar and theremin) with the ones of the two musicians he invited to this exciting new adventure: the powerful, precise drums of Adrián Perales, and the versatile Warr guitar (a sort of Chapman stick or touch guitar) of Raül Bonell, both born like Efrén in the area of València, in the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
