I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Nailscissors is a solo project which tries to be a place where I can experiment with the musical language. I mean, it's a one-person band which plays music that no one will want to hear. This person is called Artemis L. Rivero González, he comes from Canary Islands, he's an engineer and he's sick about the music he can hear in his land (Latin music). Nailscissors was born in 1995 with a demo that was composed and recorded in two weeks. The used instruments were Spanish guitars recorded in radio-cassettes to distort them, little Casio keyboards and cushions as if they were toms. And it was noisier than you can imagine.It tried to be a personal interpretation of grunge, but it was more like "noise" (I think that's a genre in which you play noise until you don't know what you are listening to). The multitracks were unknown for me, so I had to record the instruments in different devices and over the ones played before. This first moment was very productive, but not interesting: it was shit. I don't even listen to that music, almost improvised and badly played and recorded.Then, it became a more serious era, from 1998, when I discovered that I could sing as death metal. Nailscissors trended to metal. Anyway, the sound was still very poor. In 1999 was published "And Dancing with Angels", a demo that was almost well composed, with an electric guitar and better keyboards, all of them given by Miguel Jiménez, a good friend of mine. Then, three other demos appeared: "Born", "Adagio" and "The Breath Of The Machine", all of them recorded in tapes. There already were techno influences in Nailscissors music.Finally, in 1995, the computer means a great change in Nailscissors concept: digital multitracks, effects, good recording, playing quality and midi composition. There's a metronome that leads Nailscissors music to somewhere! Thanks to these new technologies appeared "Byte me", the best techno demo I've done, but it was more strange than I wanted. The computer let me create a great visual universe which is one of Nailscissors characteristics by the time.Nowadays, I'm working in other demos; black metal, doom metal and techno demos will keep on destroying your ears!
