Chimp Spanner

Chimp Spanner is a solo instrumental progressive metal project created by multi instrumentalist and producer, Paul Antonio Ortiz. Combining low tuned tech metal and dark seedy fusion with warbly 80's cheesy electro and feel-good euphoria, his latest CD 'At the Dream's Edge' (Basick Records) brings all of this together to create a sound that's new, yet familiar. Angular and jarring, yet ambient and evocative. It's soundtrack metal, progressive retro-futurism, a polymetric space opera, music for hover-boarding championships...but most people just say it's kinda 'chimpy'. Chimp Spanner is a solo progressive/ambient metal project from Essex, UK. All composition, instrumentation, recording and production is done by Paul Ortiz, a 25 year old multi-instrumentalist (but primarily a 7 and 8 string guitarist).
