Marimba, harmonicas, kalimbas, hammered dulcimer, synthesizers and various percussion gather into an organic landscape, at times naked and acoustic, other times electronically processed, now warm and groovy, then beautifully chaotic or simply ethereal

Juan Pino was born in Quito, Ecuador, on July 11, 1980. His father, Bruno, was a poet, actor, puppeteer, and painter, and his mother, Santuzza, a puppeteer, storyteller, and theater author from Switzerland.
At the age of 4, Juan moved with his mother to the Italian part of Switzerland. He grew up surrounded by puppets, mountains, and dreams. At the age of 6, his desire to play drums and perform on stage led him to his first teacher, Oliviero Giovannoni, in his hometown of Locarno. Under Giovannoni's guidance, Juan learned a wide range of percussion instruments, from the xylophone to various other types, over the course of 13 years. During his teenage years, he expressed his grunge, punk, and psychedelic temperament by playing on anything he could find.
Between 2000 and 2002, Juan studied music at the Ecole de Jazz et Musique Actuelle in Lausanne (EJMA, a modern jazz conservatory) and at the Institute Jaques Dalcroze in Geneva (music pedagogy through movement).
However, the path of becoming a jazz drummer did not fully resonate with him. In 2002, Juan moved to Copenhagen to attend the Center for Creativity and Theater, where he undertook a two-year intensive Live and Stage Arts education. There, he broadened his horizons, learning about movement, voice, improvisation, stage awareness, and the creative process.
Juan Pino's minimal and poetic sound universe recalls the world's roots and the magic of dreams. From the many travels to the Andes, the Amazon forest, Lapland and the Ganges he collected a bunch of instruments and impressions.
Marimba, harmonicas, kalimbas, hammered dulcimer, synthesizers and various percussion gather into an organic landscape, at times naked and acoustic, other times electronically processed, now warm and groovy, then beautifully chaotic or simply ethereal. Each concert is different, possibly working site-specific and including improvisations.
For this intimate performance, Pino will take on the small dome-shaped room of Metronomen, closely surrounded by the audience, working with its lively acoustic, creating a collective immersive blanket of soothing soundscapes.
The concert is part of our limited-capacity series at Metronomen, 144000, where only 40 tickets are available for each show. The ticket includes a cup of tea. The concert is supported by Frederiksberg Kommune and Frederiksberg Fonden. Thanks!
