Cutup Cinema by Numb

Numb is a duo made up of Pablo Cruz and Rodrigo Barquera.

Together they have put out an array of releases, graphic works and collaborations for several collectives in the mexican underground soundscape. In recent times, they have also done visual collaborations, infusing dark atmospheric sounds with a cinematic twist, into the poetics of contemporary ambient music.

Numb synthesize their recent explorations that involve meditative, neoclassical avantgarde sounds blended with syncopated yet consistent rhythms; not so far away from industrial or even modern IDM, like the dissolved drifts of concrete music and broken beats: each track giving us the sentiment of the duo maturing and developing a more conscious position as sound designers and music creators.

Their new album represents the recent years for Numb and summarizes the explorations of the duo. While the track "Make a meal amongst enemies" was part of the Caósmosis sound installation for Coaxial Los Angeles curated by Otono, and “Live like 9-5, I rhyme and come alive” appeared on another compilation, they now evolve with new sounds that are the consequence of processes based on the influence of brutalist architecture, synesthesia, cut-up techniques of the multidisciplinary kind and visual elements translated into rhythms that come from the deep and cinematic soundscapes layered by the duo. Cutup Cinema sees Numb bring together unedited works that consolidate their most unique sound to date.

A platform to amplify advanced & experimental music.

Otono works closely with artists, a community of creators and other organizations, in order to promote profound artistic experiences.
