Biography

Os Atonais was a Brazilian band formed in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, in the late 1990s. The group's sound was marked by a modern and intelligent reinterpretation of Jovem Guarda, incorporating atonal and electronic elements, resulting in original compositions with a touch of humor.

The band released a single album, "Em Amplitude Modulada", in 2000, recorded in 1999. The compositions were written by the partnership between Marcelo Birck and Leandro Blessmann, both guitarists and vocalists of the group. Os Atonais' musical proposal sought to unite the 1960s beat aesthetic with sonic experimentations, creating a sound that stood out in the independent scene of the time.

Marcelo Birck, one of the members, is known for his extensive career in Brazilian music, having participated in groups such as Graforréia Xilarmônica and Aristóteles de Ananias Jr. The partnership between Birck and Blessmann in Os Atonais is seen as an example of creativity and originality, exploring unusual associations between different musical references.
