Carlos Arcay

Carlos Arcay (Compostela, 1981). Guitarrist, composer and producer in Arcay Sound–Mix & Mastering studios.

As guitarist he has been active in the Galician music scene since 1998, going through different bands and projects such as Rever, Yidorah, Ginkgo, Amarcord, Johnny Lokke Band (USA), Zelion or Uxío Mayo y La Banda Fetichista. He has always made clear his style, feeling and way of seeing music in all the works released with the different bands. In 2009, he started working as a producer and sound engineer with the production of Yidorah and the recording and production of the Uxío Mayo LP; nowadays, he still works for different Galician artists. It is remarkable his YouTube channel, where he often uploads videos mixing humor with his way of feeling music, being one of the most charismatic artists with online presence statewide.

In his new solo instrumental project he dives himself in different styles leaning towards rock-metal, through an outstanding and elaborated technical and musical quality that crystallized in GENESIS (2017), a breath of fresh air within the instrumental genre that you can enjoy in his live shows.

His latest work, THEY LIVE (2019), is a follow-up of GENESIS; a journey through the cosmos created by the 7 strings of the Galician artist, an instrumental universe full of nuances where the master displays his technique to catch you in his world. The four tracks are peppered with surprises and enveloping melodies coated in a powerful epic.
