History and musical style
The musician developed a very personal project of music and modern times, being named as "doomsday primitive musician" or "the dark side of Manu Chao".[2] His musical style comes from a combination of post-rock, intelligent dance music, nu jazz and digital hardcore, retaining a characteristic sound using only virtual instruments and sequencers.
His debut release, the concept album Everyday Life Is War, was launched on 1 January 2009, the same day that the Gaza War conflict began.
He has also released Yesterday Was OK, Today Is Dramatic,[3] to paraphrase the name of the album of the Icelandic band múm.
Futuro Primitivo uses visuals to accompany his live presentations.
