Interview to Paco Moreno (2024)




Paco Moreno is a vaporwave artist from US. Founder of PMP Label.-



- What is the meaning and the concept behind the name of your music project?

That is a funny story really. Back in the day I was invoved with a woman and online, particularly on Facebook I used my real name, and so, I would get a lot of messages in my DMs from...women of the past. It got me in trouble a few times so I decided to change my name. The first thing that came to mind was Paco Moreno, a character from a 1983 movie called Bad Boys with Sean Penn and Esai Morales (Paco). I always loved that movie and the Paco character so I changed my name to Paco Moreno. Years later.

When I decided to make vaporwave, I simply adapted that name because that is how I was known in the vaporwave forums. That was in 2019. Before that I made electronic "Death Noise" under the name Dying Face begining in 1994. That project can be found on ReverbNation.


- What equipment do you use for create music?

Oh that has varied over the years from a variety of guitars and keyboards in the beginning to my trusty  ENY dv6 laptop that I use now in which I have two of them.


- Tell us a little biography about your project, when you started to make music?

I am a creator, not a musician, let's start there.  I have been making mix tapes , field recordings and albums scince I was 8 years old in 1984. My frind and I

would throw a tape in the boombox and record ourselves, we would do skits as if we were a radio station. We would perform songs, act out commercials and do radio spots.

I was also big on field recordings as a kid . I always had a tape recording in the back of the room at get togthers and just randomly recorded sounds. I still have some of those tapes.

Fastforward to 1994 another friend and I recorded a noise album called Tunnel of Insanity and from that session I used left over bits to make my first solo noise album,

Divine Empire of Evil: Forever We Rot under the name Dying Face in '95. I continued with Dying Face into the 2000's . I released a song on Youtube under the name S.O.94

around 2015. (Summer of '94) Then in 2019 I made my first vaporwave album under the name HiBias Casstte. The album was called Good Vibes and it really made no waves at all.

in 2020 I made another vaporwave album,"No Problemo" under the name Paco Moreno and let my friend Dos Pinos of TVVIN PINEZ M4LL hear it. He offered to releas it on his label The Bogus Collective.

That was a big break for me into Vaporwave.


- Who are your main music and artistic influences?

My main musical influence throughout my life has without a doubt been BLACK SABBATH, Tony Iommi and Ozzy Osbourne being the most influentual.

I have such a wide and diverse taste in music I could go on and on from genre to genre naming names that have influenced me...for example just to name a few...

Cannibal Corpse, Poison Clan, Hank Williams,NIN, Johnny Cash, King Diamond... and on and on as I love all genres of music from rap to country heavy metal, black metal, death metal

and so on.

As far as vaporwave is concerned by far my main influence has been TVVIN PINEZ M4LL.


- What underground artists from the netlabel scene do you like?

being an owner of a Netlabel I have many favorites that I have listened to and worked with. After all vaporwave as a whole is really underground and most of us are on netlabels.

I enjoy, and I am gonna try to diversify this a bit, again TVVIN PINEZ M4LL (vaporwave) From Tokyo to Honolulu (chillwave) Humanfobia (witch house) Tony Fawkin Heal (future funk) CT57 (signalwave) and I could go on and on.


- Do you have some influence from your country in your music?

Again i'd have to say TVVIN PINEZ M4LL has been the most influential on my vaporwave career. I should mention though my early career in extreme noise was predominantly

influenced by Italian artist Marco Corbelli of Atrax Morgue.


- What is your favorite album/ep composed by you? And why?

That is a tough one becuase there are a few that I really love such as Miami Weather Report , Tom Selleck and Forever.EXE . All for different reasons. I'd say the one I listen to the most

is All Night Long , originally released as 밤​새​도​록 by 오후, because this album is so funky and just has an excellent vibe. I'd say the albums that I am most proud of would be my work with Itallian artist Tele+1 on the albums Fresco & Analog Ghost. These albums are incredibly tight and really showcase our craft.

- What are your preferred music platforms/websites? Why?

For me it is BandCamp for sure. I like the control I have there. I really dont venture outside of BC very much besides YouTube. Plus I have an extensive physichal collection that stems back

to the very first tape I ever owned which is David Lee Roth's Crazy from the Heat. So at least at home I have a huge library of music to listen to without the internet.


- Any funny anecdote in the composition of a track or an album?

There are many. Lot's of funny things happen while making music. One thing I do is hide things in my albums, I have put my voice, the voice of my kids and small samples of those early

field recordings I mentioned earlier all throughout my music. My most recent album, which is unreleased as I say this but will be out real soon is a mallsoft album called

Christmas Mallsoft Medley of Melodies and I recorded all of the mall ambience while on a family outing to a local mall and so you can hear me and my family all troughout the recording.


- Do you play live? How was the experience?

I dont play live. I traveled throughout the south east for a decade with bands, filming and promoting shows in my early days and honestly I have no desire to play live.


- Any news for 2025?

2025 will be a big year for PMP. I have so many great acts lined up and much to share with you all. Stay Tuned...


- Do you want to say anything else to your listeners?

Thank you my friends.

I love you all.

Paco Moreno.

Interview to Enternet Boy (2021)

Today we did an interview to the mexican composer: ENTERNET BOY from Yucatán, Mexico.

What is the meaning of your artist/project name?

It's related to cyberspace, specially on the ether and the capability to connect and communicate in the immensity of this invisible/ghostly area that internet is. 

 


- Which is the concept behind your music project, how you categorize your own music? 

I think it's a combination of many musical genres, sometimes vaporwave then dark ambient, grime, avant-garde, concrète musique. In general, it's experimental sound design because I create while I improve, no matter what the style it's at the end.


- Do you release music only under your main project? do you have other active or past music projects or monikers?

A year ago, Çois Agver & I joined to Radio Ensayo as Vía de Acceso to talk & share creations from experimental a/v artists around the globe every third Thursday of the month. You're all invited to listen to it & collaborate somehow. We had our show #12 in June & it was audiovisual experience, it was cool. Right there we premiered and presented our duo project named “Desertic Garden” where we explore themes about ecologic activism identified with our ancestral heritage that it's connected to nature. Our first EP was a post-apocalyptic inspiration but we're always open searching new point of views.


 

- Favorite music genres??

Electrónica desconstruida, vaporwave experimental, música concreta, dark ambient/drone, avant-garde, techno, minimal, tribal prehispánico, new age, witch house, contemporary, abstract, etc.

 

- In what year did you start making music? which was your first band/project?

Enternet boy born in 2018 but my visual art project came before when I learned to use Photoshop and other design apps, then we create VDA as an account dedicated to glitch/surrealistic art. After that, we found Audacity & other audio softwares and then I started with sound design under EB.

 

- Which inspiration you have from the place where you live? There's some inspiration from your country in your music?

“Plaza Internacional” it's about my city & my first album it's a tumult to my country. For years ago, I remembered to discover and learn how actual social system constructions works, what's the power of money, invisibility for some specific groups of people and other situations... It was a moment of rebellion and consciousness; I wanted to protest, transform feelings into art. Sounds are dramatic sometimes but there's hope in some pieces too; I inspire myself in ancestral knowledge of people whom were here before me to guide me, to teach me in positive ways.

- Which are your favorite visual/plastic artists who inspire your work?

Çois Agver, DIGITONICA, Enigma Curry, TaRka, Asako Hoshikawa, Draumurmar, Esstro9, Quasiaqua, Chris Meneces, Robin E. Stewart, EustaquioElPlagio, Lend Me Your Underbelly, Samuel L. Jetsen, VDA, Fun.At, Enzo Luciano, Franco Paliof, Dannyhell, Matsumoto Akihiro, Arrehola, Nicolas Morillo, Antonio Ponce, Nikita Tikhonov, Salvador Venti, Nick Williams, Toy-Mesme, Kayvan Niktabiat, Nico Lillo, Zolm, Keith Rankin, Proxima2000taur, Magnhild Kennedy, Jim Davys, Koo Des, Muriel Nisse, Vince Mckelvie, Sander Etehema, Gabriel Gabriel Garble, Sasha Frolova, Nikita Replyanski, Stefano Benediti, Michelle Pan, Armandi Art, Reina Rex, Nick Wivekyolamal, Burnie Elfhonderd, Aunhelden, Theo Tryantafyllidis, André Benson, Irene P. Tello, Michel Poisson, Soso Gutter, Lloyd Newell, Alejandro Jodorowski, Mimi Choi.

 

- How do you see the current Underground music scene of the music genre that you are involved?

I think we're always expanding more & more, there's always new emerging creators at the vanguard. Somehow, due to internet we're connecting frequently with each one from this community of underground music, it's great to know there's someone with same musical taste out there in the world. Hopefully, we can leave a trace for those who don't know about this movement & then they'll be prepared for the future.

 

- Favorite popular & also underground composers/music projects?

Çois Agver, Marcy Angels, taRka, Wilfried Hanrath, Grevus Anjl, Special Cecilia, Belial Pelegrim, Kaerian, Teth Sin, LIJEL, Sábila Orbe, Mist Spectra, Sofia HT, Muterial, Oriental Love, Assá, Lady of Fire Poetry, INRGD, Uncanny Dandelions, Exner, Lissa S, Dariusz Jackowski, Morlita M, Ghost Girl, Elska Lullabies, Bissecta de Kînsame, Espíritu Ensoñado, Scilent Symphony, Pablo Moretti, Synthax Erika, ecology141, Sol Ring, NUT, Motion X, A Virtual Memory, Count Chadwyck, SONOMA, Sulevia, NeapolaXi, Takafumi Suzuki, Her Ra, Tony Morris, Minimal_Drone*GRL, Henry Koek, meezerpocalypse, SÁCC€A, Rina Priduvalova and Diana Azzuz.

 

- Do you make live performances? If you do, can you talk us about the experience? 

Yes, I've been playing in Festival de Pajama 2 & 3, it's another feeling to be in front of people even when you don't see them. There's always love & good interaction in the chat section... And the set I'm thinking to become a studio director.

- Which is your favorite song/composition and album created by yourself? 

This is a hard one maybe my favourite albums are Plaza Internacional, THÉLÈME and dodecagrama in that order, but to choose just one track it's harder!

 


- Tell us about the concept & the creation process of one of your latest EP / ALBUM

In my LP5 "Plaza Internacional" : https://enternetboy.bandcamp.com/album/plaza-internacional

I interpret the story of a Yucatecan citizen; most of the topics have titles based on Mayan culture and history. I realized that I had not made an album with the roots of my hometown, there are references to past albums, following the themes of magic and self discovery because the songs do not contain samples, so it was something completely original and spontaneous using FL Studio. I learned about mastering and intelectual property in this isolation time.

 

- Tell us about the underground music scene in your city, and which are your favorite artists from your country? 

We have Çois Agver, CNDSD, Isaac Soto, Seagit Arc, Om Beach, Lost Insurgentes, Borametz, Emiliano Dietzgen, Hërmës, Concepción Huerta, Gazrapse, Virtual Trash, Chichilcitlalli, Erick Ruiz Arrellano, Daniela Solis and collectives as Antimateria Sonora, Virtual Soundsystem Records, VAA, Chakanais, Oris.

 

- As active musician, What inspire you to create more and more content? From where you find the inspiration for be a music creator? 

 I think in nature... the Earth in general; human history, technology advances, buildings, dreams, fantasy and magic worlds, on meditation, in the galaxy...


 

- Any anecdote that you want to share with us in the creation of some track? 

I think the curiosity of all my works, it's the growth and relationship of my life experiences with these sounds that produce feelings. There's a meaning and specific message in all compositions but they're encrypted and sometimes they're played during a special moment or date or specific learning. Somehow like Magick.

 

- Any news for this second half of 2021 or for 2022 in your music project or future collaborations?

Yes, I'm planning a new compilation album singing some of my previous works, like a re-interpretation but freshly, most of them its going to be about “Plaza Internacional”. This would be the first time I use vocals in Enternet boy's project. I want to directed a video for the performance too but I'm still organizing how this is going to be directed & played, surprises are coming

 

- Any other thing that you want to say to your listeners? 

Stay creative, trust in your institution, be true & be free
