Mika Martini


With studies in architecture and a degree in design from the Catholic University of Chile, Hugo Espinosa Chellew aka Mika Martini, has developed his artistic abilities in areas such as 3-D animation, video clips, traditional graphic design, multimedia design, web design and electronic music. Martini initiated a musical solo project at the beginning of 2004 with the firm objective of rescuing and mixing sounds from the Chilean ethnic background with abstract elements, linked to the techniques of "microsampling" and the "minimal" current. In parallel has developed too a work more linked to experimental music and electronic improvisation. In 2005, co-founded Pueblo Nuevo Netlabel, a platform of diffusion that has converted itself through 15 uninterrupted years of operation into an active promoter of both Martini’s own musical work as well as that of many other Chilean and foreign composers.
