Biography
Frontman for the reknown D.C. post-punk "spazzcore" band Frodus (1993-1999) whom later fronted Decahedron (2003-2005) and The Cassettes (1999-present). His solo material however is a far cry from his forays on guitar and vocals. A musical quagmire focusing on the sounds of his childhood and early computing of the Commodore 64 and Nintendo Entertainment System/Gameboy. Scorched earth heavy 8bit electronica that brings to mind such artists as: Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Squarepusher and Mr. Oizo under a disintegrating pixel-sky. (Shelby Cinca has also released music under the alias Triobelisk).
His solo work has since evolved into Catbeats, in which Cinca swaps the intense sounds of Frodus for mellow, groovebox-driven beats. The project is a distinct turn in his musical path, highlighting his adaptability and affinity for soothing, instrumental music, cats, and Animal Crossing.
