Macromassa was founded in Barcelona in 1976 by Victor Nubla and
Juan Crek as an experimentation laboratory specially focused on
the electronic modification of wind instruments and the voice. Since
then, and until 1997 (year when it appeared their last album "Puerta
Heliogábal") the team Nubla-Crek produced more thatn forty
recordings and a hundred concerts. It is impossible to summarise
all this material in just few words. Alongside these years, the
music of Macromassa has walked on industrial sounds; has gave birth
to such complex and crazy conceptual creations as "Los Hechos Pérez";
has closed vocal-literary phases to give way -in other recordings-
to some other phases completely instrumental and of improvisation;
has made the work of Macromassa to pass through the filter of the
Municipal Band of Tolosa; has made the electric guitars appearing
and disappearing; has transformed the rhythm machine into two drums...
And all that with an inclassifiable "macromassic" touch. The same
touch that has never left the listener indifferent when listening
any of their eight albums.
Victor Nubla (1956) started his artistic career in the mid 70's.
Composer, video-artist and writer, he has also composed music for
cinema, video, theatre and contemporary ballet. He has worked in
many other bands and projects: Colectivo de Improvisación
Libre, Naif, El Cuarteto Albano, Nubla & Zulian, Agrupación
Instrumental Phonos, El Consuelo Húngaro, Delirio de Dioses,
Secreto Metro, UMYU, Klamm, Clónicos, Zush-Tres, Bel Canto
Orquestra, Leo Mariño & Victor Nubla and CKT3 among others.
Juan Crek also started his activities as a professional musician
in the mid 70's, with a stylistic base close to psychedelic rock.
He has explored many areas in the new musical frontiers. Nowadays,
he maintains an interesant solo career.
Around the nucleus Nubla-Crek, Macromassa has always had the complicity
of musicians such as Albert Gimenez, Antón Ingnorant, Zush,
Markus A. Breuss, Pere Boada, Kasper T. Toepliz, Eric Blanchard,
Patri Martinez or Pep Figueras. Some of them participate in the
CD "Homenaje a Macromassa" (Tetra Brik Records, 2000), where people
as Superelvis, Clónicos, Pascal Comelade, Tina Gil or Carter
Piler are in charge of making versions of some themes of Macromassa.

CASSETTE-GAZZETTE
Suele domesticarse un grillo
durante un par de años, sin grillo,
la sardina roja no acude. Otro requisito
indispensable es el albornoz del
grillo. Se utilizan cestos de
mimbre blanco. La sardina roja
suele andar siempre por ahí sin
ninguna cosa que hacer. Entonces
el grillo hace el resto.
Nena haguen tu de ré
nena haguen deranda hé
Cassette-Gazzette
Mucho amor...
Cassette-Gazzette
Es mejor.
IR SITIOS
Me gusta ir sitios
cuando la gente me llama
y puedo dejar el armario
Me gusta ir sitios
con las luces rojas, amarillas
azules y blancas.
Me gusta ir sitios
cuando no se donde estoy
y me olvido las paredes.
Me gusta ir sitios
cuando la gente amable se aparta
para dejarme pasar.
Me gusta ir sitios
y no me gusta pagar.
EN FIN
No tengo nada que buscar
nada que encontrar
sólo un profundo mar azul
donde el pan nos atormenta
En fin, en fin, en fin
No tengo nada que temer
nada que arriesgar
sólo nuestros pies cantando
dónde demonios está
el fin, en fin, en fin
Anorexia moral
no hay vuelta atrás
No tengo nada que aprender
nada que enseñar
déjame como te gustaría
encontrarme
en fin, en fin, en fin

EL CONSECUENTE ASPECTO
DE GEOMETRIA
¿Qué hay de Geometría?
Su fulgor sólo lo percibían
algunos,
los elegidos,
los que desarrollan
esperanza
cuando oyen.
Geometría fue la perla del
estadio,
un soborno constante a
Perla,
el correlato frugal
de todos los geometría.
Y sin embargo,
¿quién iba a descubrir
la realidad número 47?
¿Quién daría el primer
paso
por detrás de Geometría?
Para Perla, todo estaba en
contra.
En todo caso, sólo un
geometría
podría hacerlo.
Gaspar Pomposo
acabó por ocuparse de
ello.
A Geometría
no pareció
importarle mucho
todo aquel movimiento a
su alrededor,
de manera que siguió
su lógica evolución
hasta alcanzar
su actual consecuente
aspecto.

"Entrenched between surrealism and a situationism near to Gómez
de la Serna's style, Victor Nubla and Juan Crek are two puzzling
humourists, veteran empiricists of experimental rock/jazz born in
Barcelona in the mid-70's, whose relationship with electronics comes
from time immemorial.../... In 'Puerta Heliogábal', honouring
to their condition of 'laboratory', Macromassa challenge us with
taciturn blusters arisen from black'n'white dreamings, premeditated
or accidental evocations to Eric Dolphy and Faust, and, in general,
a restless, particular sonic conception that we must savour calmly
and carefully, in view of its multiplicity of textures. So imaginative
that nobody would say that with their 'Puerta Heliogábal',
their discography is twenty years old." (Jaime
Gonzalo - RUTA 66)
"They are different. Macromassa cross with the listener
and knock him down. With their sonorous/mental Universe there is
no timo for indifference: they transform music into a manifesto,
and the manifesto into an orgy of sounds and rhythm. They play with
you; they tickle you; they make you feeling dizzy."
(Javier Piñango - RUTA 66)
