Bio / Background
Uniquely simple, infectious melodies and inventive arrangements create a new sound: melodic indie pop.
AL HIDALGO * CUSP
Al Hidalgo was first introduced to me to me by a studio executive as "a diamond in the rough." After the polishing was completed it became quite apparent he is "a gem of a distinct color."
Within the tones of his eclectic lyrics and melodic sensibility, the raw essence of his influences glows stylistically like that of his mentors.
The arrangements, while difficult to categorize, shape the songs to fit in a cinematic realm, where tonal and structural emphasis match perfectly on the big screen. After repeated play, the flow of the song sequence works flawlessly. As an added bonus, CHARTREUSE and SPHERE (ESFERA) are redone in Spanish (with slightly altered production) to cleverly capture the Hispanic/European market's ear.
