BIOGRAPHY

Konpiùta grew up in a musical home as his father played bass in a famous 70’s Rock Band. His own musical journey began at age 6 when he started to play the classical piano and later the guitar and the bass.

As a teenager, Konpiùta was into rock music and played in a variety of bands inspired by funk, world music and jam sessions. However, when Konpiùta discovered deconstructed and industrial electronic sounds for the first time, he realized his music would focus on a more abstract sound.

From 2000 onwards, Konpiùta began to create his musical universe at his own home studio comprised from a vast array of instruments he’d lovingly collected. Inspired by artists such as Autechre, Sutekh, Twerk, Aphex Twin, Pan_sonic or Murcof, Konpiùta was to keep his first musical works outside of the music industry allowing his sound to develop independently from the clubbing and DJ scenes. Konpiùta also undertook studies in visual arts at the prestigious “ECAL, Lausanne” fusing his music exploration with visual experimentation.

Konpiùta began performing live at private parties and then launched his sound to the music world with the assistance of VR Records, Lausanne who offered him the opportunity to play at the prestigious Caprices Festival in Crans Montana (CH) in 2006. It was there that the public and music press were hypnotised by the velvet texture and deep dark sonorities of Konpiùta’s music. Since then he plays in many parties in Switzerland and Europe.

Konpiùta’s success led to the release of some LP’s on Davidovitch’s label, Acid Milk and a collaboration with the Argentinian artist Dilo’s label, “Igloo”. Konpiùta also produce a track next to the Pompelmoessap on Chaton’s label, “Plak”. Soon Konpiùta will release his own LP on Plak records and another one on Pheek’s label
