Born in Guatemala city, Guatemala the 2nd of May 1972. Luis begins his musical studies in the mid 80´s in “Conservatorio Nacional de Música†in Guatemala city. In 1994 he moves to Montevideo, Uruguay, to continue his music studies and to start his Art studies in “Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artesâ€. There, he specializes on Sculputure and Multimedia art. In 2003 he begins experimenting with Sound Scapes and Sound Art. Because of the distance between his native and his new homeland, he developes a special interest in the sounds of his native land Guatemala. He starts building a sound archive of in-site recordings and uses them to create or “re-create†the sounds in his memories. Since 2004 he works as a Sound Technician in a recording studio, doing TV and Radio commercials, Interviews for Radio programs and recording many musical styles, from Tango to Heavy Metal.
