about

MENK’ ( ՄԵՆՔ ) means ‘’us’’ in the armenian language.
MENK’ is Xabier Iriondo and Franz Valente.

Two artists that work, grow and create together.
It happened again and, this time, a new project is born.
The duo shares many years of friendship and musical
projects. This time they created 8 new tracks with the
clear purpose to fracture the walls between sludge/doom
music and electroacoustic avantgarde.

Cymbals, harmonium, string instruments, electronic music,
metal percussions, snare drum and electric guitar are
blended together and create a kaleidoscope of tones and
colours, silence and noises in a sequence of dynamic
turnover that makes this music timeless.

All these tracks have been recorded in the Armenian
Church of Villa Albrizzi (Treviso, Italy) on March 12th 2023.

XABIER IRIONDO is the deus-ex-machina of some of the
most adventurous musical projects conceived in the last
20 years in Italy. He’s the guitarist of AFTERHOURS,
BUÑUEL and I FIUMI.
For 25 years he has been exploring the possibilities of
timbre and the manipolation of various instruments,
including self-made chordophones and/or from Eastern
traditions.

FRANZ VALENTE drummer and composer, a vital part of
Teatro Degli Orrori. When he doesn’t hit the drumheads
with BUÑUEL he also plays the drums in ROBOX.
In his solo project SNARE DRUM EXORCISM he dedicates
himself to the spiritual love towards percussions in an
unconventional live show. This is a real research work that
aims to put together the direct and wild aspects of rock,
post-punk and noise with the unpredictable and the
abstract aspects of the experimental electroacoustic
music.
