About Me


Pnume is the musical incarnation of Juan Manuel Corral.
Born in La Coruña (Spain) in 1974, since he arrived to Madrid, he has been collaborating in an amount of specialized press, writing about horror literature, making cult cinema reviews, or style corrections. He has collaborated as well in many comics and he has managed Cineforums in events dedicated to this artistic field. Besides, he has taken part in many shorts as still photographer and other production works. He has also worked for the film programming department of a very well known spanish company of exhibition cinema.
Apart from all these activities, he has written half a dozen books, among them HAMMER: LA CASA DEL TERROR, which was nominated to Ignotus Prize, LOS ESTUDIOS EALING, HUMPHREY BOGART. DE LA A A LA Z, o, CHRISTOPHER LEE & PETER CUSHING. LOS CABALLEROS DEL TERROR.
But what takes most of his time is his work as the leader of the Dance Punk band Fodderstompf, where he plays guitars and synthesizers.
Now, under the name of Pnume and helped by Luisma Lavado in the vocals, he is trying to recall his past life as a Dj (he played in the most well known clubs of his birth town), and become a creator of Industrial, Tecno, Punk, Minimal and House songs, searching for the most annoying but amazing sound ever heard.

Pnume es la encarnación musical de Juan Manuel Corral.
Nacido en La Coruña (España) en 1974, desde su llegada a Madrid no ha dejado de colaborar en multitud de prensa especializada, escribiendo sobre literatura de terror, elaborando reseñas de cine de género, o cuidando la corrección de estilo. Ha colaborado en cómics, y ha organizado Cineforums en eventos dedicados a este campo artístico. Asimismo, ha participado en diversos cortometrajes de Foto Fija y en otros apartados de producción, y formó parte del Departamento de programación de largometrajes en una conocida empresa de exhibición cinematográfica.
Por otro lado, ha escrito media docena de libros, entre los que destacan HAMMER: LA CASA DEL TERROR, por el cual fue finalista de los Premios Ignotus, LOS ESTUDIOS EALING, HUMPHREY BOGART. DE LA A A LA Z, o, CHRISTOPHER LEE & PETER CUSHING. LOS CABALLEROS DEL TERROR.
Con todo, lo que le quita más tiempo, es su trabajo al frente de la formación musical de Dance Punk, Fodderstompf, donde toca las guitarras y los sintetizadores.
Ahora, bajo el nombre de Pnume y ayudado por Luisma Lavado a las voces, pretende rememorar su pasado como Dj (pinchó en los Pubs más conocidos de su ciudad de origen), y convertirse en un creador de temas de corte Industrial, Tecno, Punk, Minimal y House, en busca del sonido más insoportable, pero al mismo tiempo arrebatador, que haya escuchado el oído humano.
