CUSCINO's career in music spans nearly two decades of creating original sound. While varied in style and sound, his past work with acts such as Paragon Null, sixty*below, Cheating Kay and The Model Congress all shared at least one thing in common: depth plus layer upon layer of beautiful sonic textures. And it's this same - yet highly evolved - progressive, textural approach that is evident in CUSCINO's debut EP Eternality released October 2013 on Fashion Sells Musiq (Los Angeles), and even moreso in previews heard from his upcoming sophomore release (Fall 2014).

Operating out of Los Angeles as both an artist/producer and composer, CUSCINO has scored numerous festival-bound films starring lead talent such as Adrienne Lovette (Sunlight, Jr.), hip-hop artist Buddy Lofton (NYC), Rod Hunt (Harry Potter franchise, Law & Order: UK) and Edwin Bravo (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End), with more on deck for directors in LA, NYC and the UK.

A classically trained guitarist from a young age, his penchant for dark, layered soundscapes stems from an early fascination with Spanish pieces from master players like Segovia. With classical in one ear, and everything from Prince to early Underworld, Goldie and Massive Attack in the other, experimenting with pianos, drum machines and turntables was a natural progression as he delved into more textural options - all while keeping in touch with a distinctly human sound. CUSCINO has since remained steady in his writing and performing, always in pursuit of that experimental-yet-accessible edge, absorbing every progressive sound that comes his way. From John Coltrane to Hudson Mohawke, early F.S.O.L. and Underworld to Flying Lotus, from Herbie Hancock to Madlib and beyond, his influences intentionally cast a wide net, and that's why he's never limited himself to any genre boundary. The sum of these influences is a constant thread throughout his entire body of work, a body of work that's prolific yet precise.

CUSCINO is ultimately dedicated to taking viewers and listeners on a visceral journey filled with rhythmic twists and turns, ambient sound, unforgettable melody and a distinct sense of forward motion, propelling them full bore into the world in which he wants them to be immersed.

CUSCINO's musical palette is as diverse as it is wide, taking cues from the constantly-evolving LA beat scene to Trent Reznor, Cliff Martinez, Ras G, J Dilla, Atticus Ross, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and too many more to name. With that palette in hand, along with his unmatched work ethic, CUSCINO brings a unique diversity to his work both as an artist/producer and film composer that is rare to find.
