Diego Stocco is an inventor of unusual musical instruments, music sound designer and composer.
One of his most recognizable instruments is the Experibass, a mutated double bass for which he invented a playing technique called “Sticcato”, creating an intense combination of tonal and percussive timbres. With this instrument, he was invited to be a featured soloist on the soundtrack of "Sherlock Holmes" scored by Oscar®-winning composer Hans Zimmer, the video games "Assassin's Creed" and "Darktide" with BAFTA-winning composer Jesper Kyd and as a composer and performer of his piece “Thunderous” for the film "Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire”. As a composer, he produced the music for the video game "The Conduit” and the film "Chernobyl Diaries”, where he experimented with more strange instruments and sonic approaches. 
The music and sound design elements from his Sonic Artifact label, specialized in horror, thriller, western and sci-fi genres, is distributed worldwide by BMG Production Music and have been placed on dozens of film trailers, films and TV shows.

As one of the Principal Sound Designers, Diego created numerous iconic sounds for the core libraries of Spectrasonics Stylus RMX, Trilian, Bob Moog Tribute Library and the flagship synth Omnisphere. His approach to listening and psychoacoustic microphone techniques allowed him to discover musically playable sounds in a variety of common objects, such as light bulbs, a clothes drying rack, a leather hat, and a number of odd instruments created by combining pieces of furniture and parts of appliances with traditional instruments. One of his most extreme sampling session was the Burning Piano, a piano sampled while it was on fire. He later created his own Sonic Extension for Omnisphere called Twisted Trees, where he built original sculptural instruments inspired by forest trees and the random motion of elements of nature.

Diego explored the sound of nature and trees with a series of musical videos, starting from Music from Sand, Music from a Tree, and Music from Nature. In these works, a lighter, playful and more abstract approach to sound appears, where he let the unconventional sounds inspire the composition. He also built instruments that can be seen as imaginative little places, like the Magical Butterfly Valley and the Miniature Forest Piano, where the listener is invited to listen to the instruments as if they were played by butterflies and birds.

Diego also created a unique approach to Convolution processing with his “Rhythmic Convolutions” sets, where he takes sounds produced by a variety of objects, materials and interactions to create original Impulse Responses that transfer both their rhythmic and spectral profile to drums, synths and any instrument with fast attacks. Occasionally Diego teaches workshops and masterclass where he shares his imaginative approach with other musicians and sound designers.

Parára is a five-piece experimental rock and post-punk band from Riga, Latvia formed in the dawn of 2009. Featuring two drumsets, frequently complex rhythm structures and some intense breakdowns their sound can be very dense yet just as melody driven and humble as your neighborhood singer-songwriter guy.

In their first year Parára have played numerous live concerts at local clubs, venues and festivals, together with a wide array of local and foreign acts alike including: Tesa, Gaserata, Edgars Rubenis, darkblueworld, Heligoland and Sabot, during this time they also recorded and released a three song demo and then two more songs- “Sebastian” and “Just a Figure of Speech” as a live video, everything in a DIY fashioned way, and all of which is downloadable for free on their website: http://www.parara.lv .

Currently their guitarist Kārlis Butins resides in Germany and is only available for short periods of time for touring and playing together. Being away from each other inspired Parára to be more versatile and lately they have been diving into various kinds of experimental and avant-garde notions like the drumming mechanics of Yoshida Tatsuya, the contemporary arrangements of Kayo Dot and the raw energy of the washington dc Post-hardcore scene from the likes of Faraquet.

Parára is a constantly evolving journey with no fear of surprising the listener with an abrupt phrasing of sincerity. 

Current lineup consists of:

Kārlis Butins - guitar, keys, vocals;
Nauris Vasiļevskis - bass;
Jānis Untāls - drums, guitar;
Aigars Valdmanis - drums;
Krists Krievinš - guitar, keys.
