[http://www.galindog.com|Guillermo Galindo]'s artistic work spans a wide spectrum of expression from symphonic composition to the domains of musical and visual computer interaction, electro-acoustic music, opera, film music, instrument building, three dimensional installation, live performance, improvisation and sound design. His music has been performed and shown at major festivals and art exhibits throughout the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.

Founded in 2004 by Andres Solis and Rogelio Sosa, [http://www.caustica.net/puntopig-eng.htm|punto pig] is a Mexico City based improvisation duo that fuses analogue sound sources, mostly turntables and voice, with real time synthesis and audio processing systems programmed by themselves. Their live presentations seek to intensify the acoustic space through histrionic gesticulation of sound and performance and the deliberate use of raw sound materials and rough audio transformation. Their work is characterized by an expressive wideness that goes from harmonic drone textures to incisive noise pulses. With more than 50 presentations in Mexico and abroad, punto pig is one of the most consistent projects in the experimental music scene in Mexico.
