Origami is me, just me. A part of me. With influences such as Skinny Puppy, FSOL, Depeche Mode, Legendary Pink Dots, Fad Gadget, John Foxx or The Young Gods, I try in my humble way to make the most personal music as an expression of my own self.
As for myself, my name is David Martinez, born in 1976, and I live in Valencia, Spain.Band/artist history
In 1994 I started a band called Our Personal Darkness, convinced by a friend of mine. We wanted to make Depeche Modish music. The truth was my friend never did anything (and I mean, never) so we never did anything as a band, but it was a leitmotiv for my starting writing lyrics. I composed around 10 songs but I just had a casio keyboard and no money and soon changed my musical aim for literary attempts.
After writing a lot of short stories and around 400 lyrics, I resumed in 2003 my passion: music. I bought some software and started one of my most important reasons for living, my music. My life has changed since then, for the better! Since then I've made about 7 albums as a process of learning.Have you performed in front of an audience?nope for the moment.

I don't consider myself a musician, just a player. I play with sounds, with everything that comes out of my head, like a child ripping out his toys in order to see what's inside. So I just wish you can enjoy listening to my music as I enjoy "playing" it. Thanks for devoting some of your time with it.Contact

oops, posted as better than, that band I have nothing to do with anymore.
I make industrial music myself in this style, but add loads of distortion and ethnic sounds to it and you get my stuff.

Wow!! I was not expecting to hear such high quality Industrial Dance here. Guided by Inertia definites sounds as good as any SP song I have heard, but yet still has its own original flaire to it. Keep this stuff up!
while, thanks a lot for your words. they mean a lot, really.
intresting title "dead weights" XD allover sorta experimental and exiting sound =) great work
Hi and thanks a lot for listening to my music. If I feel I'd like to collaborate in the future, I'll let you know.
