Atx! is the result of the work of recent years. The fifth feature of the duo Eten, made up of Unai de la Iglesia and Ibon Rodríguez. In the recording, Unai has played the drums and sang, and Ibon has played the guitar, he has sung and made the recording and the premixes. Two other people participated in the project: The musician Tzesne has made the production and the CARTOONIST Jon Martin has been in charge of designing the work.
You can hear 13 frantic songs in 27 minutes. Raw and violent hardcore pieces, power storms, noises, suggestive environments, curious moments, crazy drums, repetitions, experimentation, improvisation, screams and attempts to destroy concrete schemes of traditional songs. They are not, to put it another way, normal sounds that can be heard everywhere. More than music is an attitude, a way of expressing oneself. For example, in the txatx song, “Have you never felt strange in your own house? Will you not be the one who is too much?” they say. “Where are your principles? Look at the outsole of your shoes,” the ATXimur of mATXirulo. “Don’t denounce it, be good!” singing the ATX of the chinche. “Your sweat is political, your heartbeat is political, your bed is political, your laughs are political, your tears are political, your music is political,” in the AT song. “Your costumes are political, your costume is political, your dreams are political, your house is political”, X! I was singing.
Go on! It's a beautiful, round, artwork, well-worked and complete in pitch, word and image. Available in vinyl and CD support. Vinyl grains have been blackened and hand serigraphed. It can also be downloaded for free artoartian.org or etentaldea.net in web addresses, under the local license(p)ia.
The Eten group was formed in 1998 on the left bank of the Nervión River in Bizkaia. Today there are two members of the group, after playing as a trio for several years. Le Noise, Manett, Mursego, Xabier Montoia, Cordura, Vinegar and The Extended Plays, among others, have also participated in the project. Eten’s public performances use batteries, guitars, trumpets and other musical instruments.
Their pieces make me vibrate, they revive me, they replenish me and I hear them very comfortable. Atx! It's the work that has caught my attention most lately. A fresh wind for my ears.
Eten / Arto Artian, 2015

Zer jakin behar dut? Norekin erlazionatu behar dut? Non bizi behar dut? Ardura horiekin gabiltza gizakiok gure gizarteen baitan bizitza on baten ideia bizitzeko bidean. Ondo erantzuten ez badakigu, bazterretan geratuko garen beldurrez.

Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]
We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]
The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]
The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]

The liberal democracy of the Western countries has a growing appearance of a minimalist democracy. At the heart of the definition would be respect for changes in government through elections. The authoritarian variant of this was called competitive authoritarianism by political... [+]
