The output of self-described "non-musician" Leandro Fresco ranges from ambient to commercial pop and includes collaborations with <a href="spotify:artist:7An4yvF7hDYDolN4m5zKBp">Soda Stereo</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0EmeFodog0BfCgMzAIvKQp">Shakira</a>.

A native of Buenos Aires, Fresco began making music in his teen years and released his first album, a set of experimental electronic tracks titled Cápsula, in 1996. Years later, he and <a href="spotify:artist:1QOmebWGB6FdFtW7Bo3F0W">Gustavo Cerati</a> forged a long-term creative partnership. Fresco performed as a member of <a href="spotify:artist:1QOmebWGB6FdFtW7Bo3F0W">Cerati</a>'s backing band, assisted him with recording sessions -- a commercial peak achieved with contributions to <a href="spotify:artist:0EmeFodog0BfCgMzAIvKQp">Shakira</a>'s Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 -- and joined <a href="spotify:artist:1QOmebWGB6FdFtW7Bo3F0W">Cerati</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:7An4yvF7hDYDolN4m5zKBp">Soda Stereo</a> for touring purposes. All the while, Fresco recorded as a solo artist and released albums such as the uniformly low-key but stylistically diverse Luz Sin Calor (2005), the contemporary pop/rock-oriented Leandro Fresco (2014), and the all-ambient El Reino Invisible (2015), the latter of which was released by Cologne, Germany's <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Kompakt%22">Kompakt</a> label, which had previously showcased his ambient side on 12" and on three of their annual Pop Ambient compilations. In 2017, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22A+Strangely+Isolated+Place%22">A Strangely Isolated Place</a> issued La Equidistancia, Fresco's first collaboration with <a href="spotify:artist:6AdRO941ZEDh4GHcCUdEs4">Rafael Anton Irisarri</a>. Their second release, Una Presencia en la Brisa, appeared in 2020. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
