ALTER TEMPO is a pop rock duet formed in 2006 by Kike Pineda and Roberto Rubio, two young and talented Peruvian musicians and composers. The name of the band "ALTER TEMPO" comes from the Latin word "ALTER" which means "other" or "alternative", and the italian word "TEMPO" which means "time". On the other hand "ALTER" means "altered, modified" in English and "TEMPO" the speed at which music is or ought to be played. In such sense ALTER TEMPO means "a different speed and time of music" depending on the chosen combination. The band's preferred meaning is "Another time". Born in Lima (Peru), Kike and Roberto began singing since they were very young and went gradually developing their musical abilities. In June, 2005 Roberto and Kike joined efforts and talent to form ALTER TEMPO. Since then, both musicians started planning their future as a band composing and playing their own music into more ambitious projects. ALTER TEMPO's music is influenced by a wide range of styles such as Beatles' styled rock, bolero, trova, jazz, heavy metal, gospel and a variety of latin grooves. The main theme of their songs is everyday love, "a feeling everyone experiences but no one can define with precision" says Roberto. ALTER TEMPO believes in the free and flexible distribution of their music through the web. This explains why in July, 2006 they became the first Peruvian artists to license their music under the just launched Creative Commons Peru licenses. As ALTER TEMPO members remark "Creative Commons is the best way to share your music with freedom along the web but keeping also commercial control of your works". The duet's music is licensed under a Attribution-Non Derivative-Non Commercial Creative Commons Peru license. Currently ALTER TEMPO keeps working hard in the production of new material which they hope to take worldwide based on the new and creative distribution channels provided by the Internet and the digital technologies.
