OTHON & TOMASINI are Greek composer/pianist/songwriter Othon Mataragas and Italian actor/singer/artiste Ernesto Tomasini. Othon's original and unclassifiable repertoire, coupled with his virtuoso piano playing, and Tomasini's huge range and unique renditions make for an intense and twisted experience that is as dark as it is grotesque. Haunting music, deranged performance art and heightened theatricality are Othon & Tomasini's trademarks. 

Since 2007 they have performed in prestigious concert halls, churches and theatres in major cities around Europe. Their concert at the "Bienal de Zamora 2009" was broadcast on Radio 3 (Spanish National Radio), they were guests on the "Helter Skelter Show" on Radio Aligre in Paris and their tracks were transmitted on Radio MEC (Brasil), Kser (USA) and on Kiel FM (Germany), among others. They feature on the soundtrack (Crippled Dick Hot Wax Records) of Bruce LaBruce's movie: "Otto; or, Up with Dead People" (2008) and performed with Peter Christopherson (Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV), in a new live soundtrack to Derek Jarman's film "The Angelic Conversation" in Turin, Italy. "When I Leave You", their first limited edition EP was released in 2007 and "Digital Angel", Othon's debut album, which contains a selection of pieces performed by Tomasini, David Tibet and Marc Almond came out at the end of 2008 on the Durtro Jnana label. Last year Othon and Tomasini were chosen by designer Nasir Mazhar to perform and model his creations at the "London Fashion Week".

“Othon & Tomasini’s concert was entertaining, intense and of an extraordinary quality”
Radio 3 (National radio), Spain 2009

"[Othon & Tomasini] are so musically and vocally superior that their work is genius. It surely is extremely original and idiosyncratic.”
Transmission, Norway 2009

“[Othon’s] wondrous piano arrangements and lyrical romanticism make for an ambitiously arch cabaret full of devilish wonder”
Plan B, USA 2009

"Tomasini's vocal span of 4 octaves in itself was enough to thrill the audience but this sort of technically impressive performance was not the main focus. There was in store a wonderful tour-de force [that] made the evening just as uplifting and joyful as it was moving."
Martin Hall, Denmark 2007
