Instrumentalism's 5th Anniversary

This day 5 years ago I decided to quit the dream of being part of a band and I got tired of searching musicians with whom to create good music, so I started with one cover, by August 18th, 2011 it was finished and ready to be published. I came up with "Instrumentalism" as the project's name and I launched it that same day.

I look back to my first covers and I sincerely don't like them, but then I watch (for example) my last cover 'Waiting For A Girl Like You' and that's when the effort gets paid, not only I've remained musically active with this project, also, I have improved as a musician, and that was exactly was I was looking for when I started this. I cannot describe the de-stress I feel when I start to play and joy that gives me a well-done cover.

So now, 5 years and 116 covers later I only have to say: Thank you very much for your support!

A Primera Vista (At First Sight) is a song that talks about the friend zone, when a man can't speak and express his feelings to the girl he wants because he's afraid of losing her.

It was written and recorded by Pato García (Instrumentalism) and the voice was provided by Anthony Sixtu.

The video was directed by Pedro Ollivier and Angel Robles.

This is the cast:

-Nerd: Saúl Delgado

-Girl: Rossie Díaz

All the scenes were recorded in Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, Mx.

Check it out, it's fun, entertaining, touching, and all that stuff.

Instrumentalism reaches 3 Years!!!!

Today instrumentalism 3rd birthday.

3 years since that first video "In A Heathbeat" John Murphy, I see my first videos and honestly ... I don’t like them very much, but at the end they’re the start of this project, this One-Man-Bad, I've already created 75 covers, two of them accompanied, Instrumentalism has helped me in various aspects of my life; to improve as a musician, as a distraction while I was a student, and nowadays to connect with myself, this project is my escape from reality, when I’m recording it’s "My Moment", my guitar and I in that room (and the drum set).

I can not name people, each one knows, those who have supported this project with a like on facebook, a follow on twitter or just watching one of my covers and showing it to someone else, contributed with one of the 30,000+ views on YouTube, I just want to thank you. I have had a lot of enjoyable things with this project, and I know that there’s comming a lot more.  

To you who are reading this, if you liked any of my videos, if any of them caused you joy, or you can call yourself an Instrumentalism’s fan, I can only multiply 365 by 3 and give that much thanks to you!
