CARLOS MIER - Musician
SHORT BIO
Through out his career the musician has sought to express himself as a composer through his main instrument: the guitar; using it to generate sounds not typical of the instrument, thus extending the limits and creative possibilities of the guitar. In his musical compositions you can hear string ensembles, synthesizers, rhythm machines, requinto jarocho resofónico, pianos, voices, choirs, brass, samplers and guitars.
Carlos Mier - Composer and Guitarist - From Mexico City. Graduated with honors from Berklee College of Music. Film music composer and music producer at La Vista Studios, CDMX.

In 2018 he was nominated for a Latin Grammy for his participation as co-producer of the album “Siguente” by El David Aguilar in the 'Best Album of the Year' category. The same year he composed music for the documentary feature film produced by Cultura Colectiva and National Geographic “La Voz Del Silencio” in collaboration with the Morelos artist Pedro Mantecón.
His work as a film composer includes feature films such as “Ánimo Juventud!” (with collaborations with artists such as Paulina Sotomayor, Santiago Casillas of Little Jesus, Madame Recamier, Dulce María, Belafonte Sensacional, among others), “En La Estancia” (executive producer Alejandro González Iñárritu) and “La Suerte De Juan” by director Carlos Armella.
