The band
The OGR is a guitar quartet that paints imaginary sound portraits of monsters. The compositional elements are drawn from what the monster evokes in us individually as well as from its representation and meaning in the collective imagination. The OGR works first to re-situate it in its context, to try to measure the impact it has through history and proposes a contemporary rereading.
