Tremor combines rhythms and sound across genre borders, fitting component parts of varying tradition together in eloquent symmetry. The artist breaks sound barriers across South America and presents his digital folklore tracks to a new, global audience.

Tremor researches folklore traditions by region and bridges generations, geography and genre to produce his signature style. His sound is equal parts electronic music and native drum and owes as much to anthropology as it does to popular music.

On his last record, “Viajante,” Tremor executes folklore melody through a digital context. Layers of rhythm are fortified with modern synth loops and paired with timeless Andean flute, strings and drum samples for evocative hybrids. Glitch, IDM, and electronica reinvent classic rhythms for today’s listener. For a follow-up LP vinyl on ZZK Records/Crosstalk International Tremor tracks get remixed by Chancha Via Circuito, King Coya, El Remolon and Nortec Collective retro-fitting Tremor’s ideas with each artist’s signature style for even fresher sounds.

“It was one that makes you tremble with excitement because nobody else knows about this discovery: Tremor combines Leonardo Martinelli’s extravagant instrumentals with Gerardo Farez’s work on the synthesizers. It was magical.
