Ernesto Cárcamo Cavazos is a composer and guitarist of contemporary acoustic and electronic sounds, born in 1987 in Mexico City. His current focus is on microtonal timbre construction and aggressive spatialization by means of digital processes on acoustic and electronic instruments. The end results can become subjective sonic narratives that present the familiar source of the instrument and carry the audience through complex transformations, giving rise to unexpected sonorities and experiences that are spatially dependent and timbrally unique from the original source. www.ernestocarcamo.com
