La película de no ficción dirigida por Cortés muestra que Tijuana tiene ritmos limpios de pólvora; ritmos que caminan al paso de millones de personas que día con día se desplazan de México a Estados Unidos y viceversa; ritmos que suben y bajan por los instrumentos de los grupos norteños que se encuentran en las plazas; ritmos que se sumergen en las bebidas de los centros nocturnos; ritmos que juegan en el mar; ritmos que recorren las faldas de las muchachas; ritmos osados que se fusionan para crear nuevos ritmos. Es ahí donde tiene cabida Nortec Collective, el pilar central de la propuesta fílmica de Cortés.

We started using sequencers on computers about 13 years ago. We weren't even using Windows, just straight operating systems like DOS.
Ten years ago, I was working with a sampler that had only 1 megabyte of memory. Now I have one that has almost unlimited memory. That's insane. But it's good to have the old school, because sometimes, when you limit yourself, you can become more creative. Technology has a way of making people lazy.
I have different toys I like. I work with hardware instruments like drum machines that I build myself. One of my favorite software gadgets is called Live, made by Abelton of Germany. It's an audio sequencer that allows you to sample your software instruments and assign all the keys on your computer keyboard to trigger all the samples, so you can create a track on the fly. The other one, which will revolutionize music for DJs, is called Final Scratch. You can record your vinyl and MP3s on the computer, then connect the interface to your turntables. And you can put physical vinyl on the turntable: It has a digital code that triggers the MP3 on the computer. Both will be the big thing this year and in the future.
