Alex Gámez is graduated with a degree in Optics and Optometry from UPC University.
He has been involved with music as a dj, sound artist, sound designer, mastering engineer and producer since 1995, and currently works under the moniker Asférico.
Asférico is a proposal that emerges from an artist needing to create and experiment without loosing the groove. He produces a wide range of sounds and tracks, from extremely experimental to dance-floor music.
In January of 2006, he founded Störung, a platform focused on electronic and experimental music and visual arts.
He is in charge of this project whose aim, in short, is to promote and support a variety of creative tendencies of the electronic music field, providing live performances, radio programs, and releases, to enable the audience to hear and enjoy these musical and artistic tendencies.
He is also the label manager of the label FlatMate Music focused on electronic music for clubs and the chief engineer of Störung Studios.
Reviews
“…Asférico handles the violence of the natural world…the physicality of the pieces is rather incredible…reminiscent of Asmus Tietchens…Asférico has two competing forces in the work: one dedicated to preserving the natural world the other dedicated to destroying it.” – Beach Slot
“…a fascinating journey so far…feels as if you’re leaving our world behind and embarking on a journey through an unfamiliar landscape caught somewhere between the prehistoric and post apocalyptic…” – The Field Reporter [CO]
“…it’s definitely a work of interest. If you dig Lopez (Meelkop, Behrens etc.) than this is certainly must hear work…” – Vital Weekly [NE]
“…seems to belong to many philosophical, religious, cultural and even architectural principles…” – Chain D.L.K. [US]
“…a manifestation of post-industrial schizophrenia, whose sacred seriousness of the playfulness of the two preceding subjects precedes those scenarios of performative dreariness…” – Amusio [DE]
“…imagine yourself as the little man protagonist of the famous painting by Caspar David Friedrich (“Monk by the sea”): here you will be presented with tumultuous scenarios and monstrous fantasies in the mind…a sensory journey…” – The New Noise [IT]
