Juan D. Toledo (Tolex)

This channel is about Music & Video. I’m a guitarist, composer and live performer from Toronto, Canada. I perform by myself, as well as with other musicians, dancers or visual artists. I play all kinds of music such as: world, rock, flamenco, electronic and experimental. I also have a background in design and visual arts. 
At the beginning of 2020, I started experimenting with images and video clips with my phone using pixilated images as textures & colour saturation. When Covid-19 hit back in February and events were cancelled, I had to come up with creative ways to keep performing and composing, online seemed to be the only option. So I came up with this concept, where the cell phone was the paint brush to illustrate these conceptual videos built around my compositions and it's been growing ever since, pushing the boundaries of technology and what I can do with a phone's camera. For 2021, my plan is to move to the next stage, and produce more challenging work with upgraded gear.
