This is Avith, born in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, and here is a little bit about me.
My music journey started when I used the program Ejay in the year 2004 making my first electronic tracks. Then in 2006 I took Piano and music theory lessons in the Instituto Potosino de Bellas Artes for 5 years until I started university.
In 2011 I first met the program Reason 4 through a friend who was the drummer of a rock band I was in. Here I really started to produce songs from scratch, learning and experimenting with music and sound design, releasing my first album “The Spill” in 2012 for my Avith Ortega project. It was my personal tribute to the music and soundtrack of the Silent Hill series when I learnt how it was made in an internet forum. This started a project where I focused in the TripHop, Ambient and Industrial music releases.
I also began to experiment more with electronic music, fusing genres of my liking such as Trance, Techno, Ambient, Experimental, Psybient, among others, and because I always wanted to find electronic music that combined the progressive nature of the works of the first albums of Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis with more modern sounds I started to make it and finally released first an EP called “HUB” in 2015.; a year later, in 2016 I released my first electronic album “contrasting nuances”. At first it was released by my original name, but then I changed the artist name to Avitronic so I could separate these electronic music releases.
In 2016 I also started another music project under the name of AVITECH for music focused on another mix of genres I love to hear: Techno, Dub Techno, Deep Techno, Minimal Techno, Deep House, and more.
In the next years I have been releasing more music, some of which have been featured on other works, and also I got invited to collaborate on other projects such as original music and soundtrack for games and film.
Currently I am still working on more music, and hopefully one day I can dedicate fulltime in this music path. Messages across all social platforms, emails and direct support throughout the years are one of the main reasons that have been motivating me to continue, so thank you for that! 🙂
