OXOMAXOMA

Oxomaxoma biography
Oxomaxoma is a RIO/Avant-prog band from Mexico. They were one of the first groups in Mexico to go beyond normal rock into the realm of experimentation. Their lineup consisted of Jose Alvarez (vocals), Arturo Romo (samples, percussion, keyboards), Victor Mendez (guitars) and Armando Velasco (programming and keyboards). The band also experimented with unorthodox instruments such as glass bottles, stones, pipes, springs and plastic toys mixed with samples from television broadcasts and film to achieve their unconventional sound. They also created their own instruments, like the trombatrón, a table with springs of an old electronic transformer mounted on to it for percussion, similar to several other avant-garde bands such as Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Their style was somewhat comparable to that of bands like Einsturzende Neubaten and Plastic People, bringing together different musical styles ranging from, ethno-music, free jazz, rock, musique concrete and electronic to create a trance-like atmosphere.
