Joan Miquel Oliver, ‘Electronic Devices’

Fona Fall Fest presents, at the Auditori Municipal de Porreres, Electronic Devices (2023), the seventh solo LP by Joan Miquel Oliver. A pop journey in ten songs that explores both extremes of the genre and a long spectrum of half measures.

The album includes songs from the experimental 50 euros, which is a song built on a WhatsApp audio that his friend Javier Dalmau sent him to explain how he had found a bill on the street, to Barra libre, which throws himself headfirst into the more typical drum machine pop song and simple feelings.

The musician and writer Joan Miquel Oliver (Sóller, 1974) is a composer, lyricist and guitarist of the group Antònia Font. At the same time, he has pursued a solo career and has been on stage for more than 15 years with albums such as Surfistes en càmera lenta (2005), Live in Paris (2006), Hansel i Gretel (2007), Bombón Mallorquín (2008 ), Un quilo d'invisible (2013), Pegasus (2015), Atlantis (2017), Elektra (2018) and Aventures de la Nota La (2020), the latter four with illustrations by Albert Pinya.

He has also published the collection of poems Odissea trenta mil (Leonard Muntaner, 2002), of which he has made a musical version with the Drogueria Esperança group; the novel El misteri de l’amor (Empúries, 2008); and, among others, the novel Alexandra Schneider und ihr Casiotone (La Otra Editorial, 2018).
