The career of Alex Pochat is a showcase of musical diversity, either by the way it is expressed - composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, producer - or by the background that sustains it - classical, ethnic or rock music. His history starts within the contemporary rock scene of the city of Salvador (Bahia - Brazil), being for a long time a member of Cascadura rock band, and latter on with his solo work Alex Pochat & the 5 Elements. Currently on a master degree program in the musical composition field (Universidade Federal da Bahia), he is much involved with contemporary classical music, presenting works and researches in this area, individually or collectively, mixing the in name only different popular and classical music - vide The Beatles Chamber Orchestra or The Extraordinary Saga of Mr. Vanguard (an operetta composed by the group OCA, which he is a founding member). To this fusion is added the flavor of local ethnic music and world music, with emphasis on Indian classical music, which he imbibes in constant touring and performing interchanges. As a musical producer, he has accumulated an output of more than 20 CDs of ethnic, classical and rock music, besides having organized another amount of festivals and live performances.
