Pinches Cuerpos:

A One-Man Music Collective who's lifetime of compulsive sonic exploration converged into multiple personalities. Some manifest themselves as creative & harmonious collaborators, while others are purely destructive. Pinches Cuerpos is an attempt to harness this schizophrenic duality into a musical dynamic that is complimentary & contrasting, forward moving & reflective, body & mind.

I have been making music as early as I can remember, even before learning about musical instruments, let alone knowing how to play one. Being attracted to anything that made noise, I always felt a mysterious allure drawing me to the creative process. I decided early on never to settle on a particular instrument or sound, rather to explore and indulge in all that music had to offer. After half a decade of playing with friends, learning several instruments, and idolizing music, I began recording songs on cassettes. I didn't have much technology at my disposal, so I settled for using boom boxes, walkmen, and hand-held tape recorders. Soon after moving to the United States from Mexico in 2000, I began working on a solo project that eventually became Pinches Cuerpos.

After returning from a trip to Europe in 2004, I became interested in setting up a home studio. With a computer, borrowed software, and some primitive hardware; I began recording the Instrumentals EP. The EP was completed in 2005, and was put online as Pinches Cuerpos' first downloadable album. Instrumentals was promoted on line, and songs from the album were featured in compilation albums, got played on some internet radio stations, and was downloaded all over the world. In the meantime, the home studio continued to grow, and Digital Lo-Fi was released in early 2007. The title says it all. The album was an exploration of loud, lo-fi electro-rock. This Digital Lo-F is a sophisticated evolution of the "Bossa" sound achieved on Instrumentals. Digital Lo-Fi features an eclectic mix of heavy beats, distorted melodies, and growling synth-guitars. Recently, Pinches Cuerpos has kept busy producing other artists, writing music for film, and recording new material.
