Biografie
Montry Manuel, a Environmentalist and musician born and brought up at Cochin, Currently he is based in Austria. Montry had the love for music since his childhood. He was influenced by his father for all his creative ways of living and the love for music. He was trained by his guru Jerry Peter (Cochin) who instilled in him the love of drums also he worked in the field of advertising as a art director for about 10 years while pursuing music as a hobby till he decided to be a musician full-time. He was a founding member of the renowned Indian band "Swarathma" and was with them for seven years. They created 3 albums, many collaborative works and toured the country and the world extensively.
Montry always been interested in experimenting and creating new sounds, so he started to ideate in creating music from FOUND OBJECTS In 2010. He separated from Swarathma and created the "idea" of Thaalavattam ( Local language of Kerala, India, It translates to " A Circle of Rhythm" ) in 2011 in Bangalore (India).
Thaalavattam is not a band, it's a project, and an experience. Montry might be at the centre of it, but it's mainly about collaborative work, not just with musicians, but also with visual artists and designers from all fields who have the passion to experiment and create.
He creates all his instruments with reused material like industrial discarded materials, shock absorbers, paint cans, soda bottle crowns, pet bottles, bicycle parts and discarded PVC pipes etc.
We have a lot of inspirations and influences from nature, colours, people, what I see in every day life, conversations, found objects like floating jugs, plastic bags and bottles, graphic design, experiences of my travels around the world, street music and so on. Inspiration is all around.
Our motto is Reduce Reuse Retune and the vision is to CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH MUSIC.
Montry Thaalavattam was 'the first live act from India', having performed at the O.Z.O.R.A. Music Festival (DRAGON-NEST) in Hungary in 2014, and were honored to be part of the opening and closing acts. We have played in 2015, and invited to headline again in 2016, making it three years in a row.
