During the early 90’s Carlos was in the Progressive Rock band called ‘Avispon Verde’ and recorded 2 records while gigging regularly across the Lima alternative rock scene.
In the late 90’s Carlos relocated to Hong Kong where he was influenced by numerous music genres and sounds from different parts of the world delving into digital recording and electronic
sounds.
In 2001 while Carlos was travelling around the world, he created Novalima an Electronic collective band. The band mixed different grooves and singers from the around the world with Afroperuvian vocals and percussions.
Novalima became a big success with its first self-titled album on the Lima music scene and they soon signed their ” Afro” album with Mr. Bongo Records based in the U.K.
The song Machete was licensed to the world famous Robert Rodriguez “Machete” movie starring Danny Trejo and Robert De Niro. Later on Novalima released the album Coba Coba which was
nominated for the 10th Latin Grammy as Best Alternative Record.
It was after producing one more album in his previous band that Carlos decided to move into different directions and started his current solo project called Time Cero.
Time Cero mixes a combination of styles ranging from Industrial Metal and Rock sounds to tribal and dance percussion. The project was recorded in Lima, Peru and was mixed and
mastered by Kevin Paul in London.
Kevin Paul was the head engineer of Mute records and has mixed known bands such as Nick Cave, David Bowie and Depeche Mode. In June 2016, Kevin Paul joined Carlos in Lima,Peru
to mix the Surround 5.1 version of the Time Cero album which will be released worldwide on DVD a few months after the digital Stereo release this November.
Carlos said ” When I learned that Kevin Paul had mixed the full Depeche Mode Discography Boxset in 5.1 Surround, I knew I wanted him to also do it with Time Cero. The great thing was
that for him it seemed the songs where already recorded to be mixed in surround so the mixing process was very smooth. While in Lima Kevin had the chance to meet with most of
the musicians that participated in the Time Cero recordings which gave him an additional understanding of their sound”.
Time Cero features many different musicians including Coqui Tramontana ( Lead Guitar ), Diana Foronda ( Vocals ), Michel Lovon ( Lead Vocals ), Pier de Bernardi ( Drums ) and Carlos Li Carrillo on bass, synths, sequencers and rhythm Guitar.
There will be an opening series of concerts during January-MarcIn Spring 2017 “Time Cero” will be on a UK tour with the UK Label “Holier Than Thou” as P.R and booking agent.
The brand new single off the album is “Time Cero”.
