On today's very special episode of Songmess we are joined by Edgar Mondragón, a Mexico City native known for his cerebral ambient and experimental productions.

Building buzz since 2015 with his eponymous band, and an EP and album under their belt, Edgar has since struck out on his own, focusing on even denser sonic explorations and a growing interest in film scores. Back in July, Edgar dropped an EP of 15-second songs called Memoria y Sonido, meant as a creative experiment laced with criticism on how rapidly we consume and discard media in today's world. Edgar's new EP Pleamar, dropping August 17th, continues his musical investigations though this time on a more expansive level.

Today's conversation is all about Edgar Mondragón's journey, his creative process and why he believes electronic music is filled with much more narrative structure that it's actually credited.
