Hello Visitor,
I am Alessandro Parisi and I welcome you to my website.
Here you will find all that matters about my music project, enjoy the tour!

About me

I was born in 1985 in a little city in the north-east of Italy, Pordenone. I started listening electronic music in the early '90s, when MTV was actually broadcasting music. I approached the club scene during the early '00s at the TNT Kama§utra discotheque, where Marzio Dance was the resident dj and vocalist. A lot of my influences came from the music spinned in that period, between 1996 and 2003, which was a slower and darker version of progressive-techno music. In addition to the club scene, I got influenced by my mother which plays the church organ and the home-repertory was mainly baroque and religious. In addition to this, Pordenone was the most important italian city for the punk movement origin (search for "The Great Complotto" if interested) and that of course contributed aswell to my music. In conclusion: if you put together the dark electronic sounds, the mystical melodies or chorus armonies and the rough punk punch you'll get more or less the foundations of my sound.
I spent some years searching my music path, but it was just in 2010 that I truly kicked off my current music production with the right approach. Since then I produced many releases under different labels and aliases (see discography section) and I also performed live/dj-set in different clubs all over Europe (see performances section). My music has been also used for soundtracks in TV series, fashion shows, art exhibitions and documentaries (see soundtrack section).
At the moment I am pretty much focusing in digesting the old music, more than getting updated on new one. I contribute to Intergalactic FM with mixes or editing old tracks. Since I never stopped searching, collecting and classifying music, this little obsession resulted in a huge database of different music styles which now I can put together in form of "1-hour-story-recording". I haven't stopped producing though, I just select more carefully when/if doing it.
Any further information I'd rather share over a cold beer or check the Contacts section.
