A Cunt On Fmol is a project from Barcelona centred in exploring the combination of electronic and acoustic improvisation. Originally as a quartet and now as a quintet, A Cunt On Fmol is formed by Cristina Casanova (FMOL synt), Oscar Celma (guitar and bass), Marc Viaplana (guitar), Eugenio Tisselli (drums) and Josep M. Jordana (video projections). Recently this formation has been extended with the incorporation of Liba Villavecchia (sax).
Cristina Casanova (who was also part of the FMOL Trio, together with Sergi Jordà and Pelayo F. Arrizabalaga) leads this clash of sounds between electronic music (formed via FMOL, Faust Music On Line, synthesizer software developed by Sergi Jordà and Toni Aguilar) and acoustic music, represented by the guitars of the Oscar Celma / Marc Viaplana tandem and Tisselli's percussion games. Without forgetting Josep M. Jordana's visual contribution.
Using their own words, the group was created with the intention of "cutting, mixing and pasting electronic and acoustic improvisation". Intentions that are perfectly fulfilled in their two CDs, both recorded during live performances where electronic improvisation is fused with guitars and drums: "A Cunt On Fmol, Two Pricks On Guitar And Some Biriba Sounds" (Hazard Records, 2004; as a quartet with Cristina Casanova, Oscar Celma, Marc Viaplana and the Chilean multiinstrumentist Cristian Sotomayor in charge of the drums and the berimbao) and "A Cunt On Fmol: Lem11s" (Hazard Records, 2005, recorded by the current formation).
With her other formation FMOL Trio, Cristina Casanova has elaborated recently the soundtrack of the experimental film "Tira tu reloj al agua, variaciones sobre una cinegrafía intuida de José Val del Omar" (www.valdelomar.com), directed by Eugeni Bonet and presented in the London Film Festival.

"The full name of this project is A Cunt On FMOL, Two Pricks On Guitar And Some Biriba Sounds, but this needs no further explanation… What it does need a brief explanation is the music that Barcelona based artists Cristina Casanova (software FMOL), Òscar Celma (guitar), Marc Viaplana (guitar) and Cristian Sotomayor (berimbau, drums) invoke in their particular electro-witch- coven- like performances. In their own words, the band was created with the aim to 'cut, mix and overlap the sounds of acoustic and electronic music'. A self-produced CD pays tribute to this process which has so brilliantly blended such different disciplines into a seamless one. Frank Zappa once said that 'To talk about music is like fishing about architecture'. Feel free to position this band in your very own music axis." (LEM Festival 2004)
