Beyond a threatening aura and an often veiled presentation, El Ángel Exterminador honours the surreal vision of the film the project is titled after, following the fever dream approach to the transmutation of sociopolitical and inner tensions into audiovisual pieces.

Blending their previous sonic explorations as “Goo” with analogue hardware and a new foray into digital DAWs, Ammo has developed a sound they dub “thriller-electronics,” re-mystifying electronic music by injecting it with magic, spirituality and chaos. Their hybrid performances deliver sharp edges, ethereal undertones, and spectral Latin American influences.

Mexico City–born, Vancouver-based Max Ammo is an audiovisual artist and curator working across graphic design, animation, music production, and live performance. They co-founded Cadena with Elias Musiak (AKA Jaijiu), an interdisciplinary project between Montreal and Vancouver dedicated to showcasing Latin American electronic music through research, events, community building, and forthcoming editorial work.
