Biography
“New Zealand born, Sydney based Aron Ottignon is only 24, but he has already developed a boldly original approach to composition and performance. Some of his tunes are built around strong melodic hooks that have the instant appeal of a cleverly constructed pop song. Others hang on the barest of harmonic pegs and are instead pinned to an insistent, pulsating rhythm (or series of rhythms). Silvery piano melodies, thumping bass riffs, rolling rhythms, and spiky, sometimes ferocious percussion breaks”Jessica Nichols The Age 13/07/05
Aronas brings together some of Australia’s most in demand musicians. Drummer Evan Mannell is one of the hardest working and most admired in the business, displaying a deft creative touch to an amazing array of situations.With a punk attitude to match, Evan is quite simply one of the premier drummers in Oz. Bassist Dave Symes has not stopped working for a decade with everyone who matters, both as an accomplished performer and studio musician.Daves thumping basslines add some serious groove to any group he is involved in. He has also been a loyal deputy to Australia’s king of funk, Jacky Orszaczky, playing and touring with Jacky for 6 years.Completing the line up is percussionist Josh Green, a powerful,innovative musician who has 15 years experience touring Australia and overseas with groups such as Pablo Percusso. His rhythmical knowledge is vast and spans the globe, from indigenous traditions to his own trademark train rhythms. The young ages of the group defy their industry experience and make Aronas a formidable line up. It has lead one reviewer to state “their music is too good to be true”, Sally Brand 27/04/05
