Auggie Velarde
Programmed to make sound waves.
Version: 0.0.1 (Beta)
Auggie Velarde is a Peruvian artist and musician with a passion for technology. Auggie grew up fascinated by computers and the sounds they could make. At a young age and with the power of the internet, he taught himself how to code and produce music.
Blurring the lines between genres and what it means to be an artist, Auggie incorporates technology, experimentation, futuristic aesthetics, and highly addictive melodies into his mysterious projects.
By design, he manages a family of aliases and online identities (Auggie Velarde being his most public avatar). This is a portrait of the digital age we live in, a world of digital anonymity and a network of entities that can be controlled by one human.
A musical representation of the Internet, Auggie's lyrical content escapes reality through virtual fantasies but at the same time finds inspiration and relevance in human experience. The invitation is open to anyone interested in participating in a sonic journey to discover if the artificial can generate real emotions. Synthetic by nature, the projects' sounds have an electronic origin - but fuse with an unlimited set of genres.
Auggie creates songs that feel like passionate odes to the future - bridging the gaps between cyberspace and reality.
