Paredes, Silvio - Poptronics

Der Chilene Silvio Pareds gehört zu den bekanntesten Bassisten Südamerikas und er ist eine Virtuose am Chapman Stick, der korpuslosen Bassgitarre. Seine Band Los Mismos gehörte zu den ersten, die Elektronik mit echten Instrumenten vermischte. Sein Sololbum ist eine Fusion aus Elektronik, Pop, Jazz, Rock und Downbeat. Und Slap-Bass...



Silvio Paredes is a reference point on electric bass and the Chapman Stick not only in his home country Chile, but in all of Latin America. In particular the Stick has been his main instrument since he started playing and he combines it with an array of electronic devices. Silvio has been a seminal part of several of the Chilean music scene's mainstays. His trio Los Mismos was the first electronic group that would mix electronics with electrical instruments in a playing style similar to that of a rock band, and Silvio is co-founder and core member of the still active cult band Electrodomesticos that blends industrial rock with electronica. His fusion of elements from jazz, rock and hip-hop with electronica has been released on four albums, featuring guest performances by outstanding musicians such as DJ Raff, Solo di Medina and DJ Bitman as well as the highly successful indie-pop artist Javiera Mena. Silvio Paredes is relocating to England in January 2016 for a three-year period and will be active regularly on the European scene.
