About
Mexican musician, composer, audio engineer and record producer. A pioneer in rock, prog rock, avant-garde, techno, electronic, soundtrack, and experimental music in Mexico.
He started playing covers with a band called La Marioneta Eléctrica which then in 1973 became a trio, , influenced by free jazz, progressive rock and experimental music, with (drums), (bass) and Alex Eisenring (piano, guitar) as the founding members. The band had many different line-ups and instruments, even having up to 13 musicians at the same time.
Alex was eager to adopt an electronic style for the band however his partners disagreed, that's why in the same night of 1981, Queso Sagrado was being dissolved giving its last live show while was being formed by him along with and , performing its first live show.

He began then to work as an engineer out of necessity, as there were no engineers specialized in experimental and electronic styles. In 1992 the first digital recording (with no tapes) in Mexico was being made in his home studio by his project , co-founded by Alex with and .
In 2010, after being around twenty years inactive, just working in 3D animation, video editing and graphic design, he was invited by and to collaborate with . By 2012 they were performing for short films live projections as well as other silent short films from surreal cinema movement.
