All compositions by John Cage; Arrangements by CALATO.

CALATO is an improvisation and experimental composition quartet from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Its work draws from free jazz, punk, and abstract noise while exploring the possibilities of music notation and graphic scores in convergence with free improvisation, deep listening and explosive interaction. CALATO's sound is based around two wildly attacked prepared guitars, a drum set played with chopsticks, and an amplified voice that does all sort of things, most of which you wouldn't call "singing". It was formed in 2010, since then CALATO has performed widely in Argentina, Uruguay (2014) and Brasil (2016, 2017) and is planning an upcoming tour around Europe for 2023.

XT regularly push the boundaries of how the limits of the new can still be explored in music today, Pat Thomas is a direct descendant of the piano giants of the second half of the 20th century; here they converse together with the music and thinking of Cecil Taylor. Free jazz of the future age. jiristepan
