D'Atzar is a trio from Girona (Catalunya) formed by Xavier Ballesteros, guitars; Jordi Rallo (tables, tambourine, gongs and percussions) and Quim Ollé (flute, bass flute and bansuri) presents his first album, "Les Hores".
It’s a work composed of intertwined themes, in which Time provides the leitmotif. Each hour is a mood. An attitude to a life that both gives and takes away. In which we feel we are born again for the umpteenth time. In which we pass through a cloud that darkens our existence on a winter’s afternoon. In which we enjoy a glorious morning just because the shine is shining. In which a sudden burst of euphoria enlivens us for no reason at all...
Snapshots of Time, of a river that is neither born nor dies. A tribute to life’s moments. To an infinite string of pearls. To the present moment in every instant.
Also, an attempt to make the stars of every “now” shine with their own unique intensity.
The hours are the states of the heart.
