O.T.X

OTX is one of the many music projects by Stefano Piredda, a much talented Anglo-Italian composer. Influenced by such soundtrack composers as Hanz Zimmer, Michael Kamen, Kenji Kawai and Jocelyn Pook, as well as experimental music pioneers like Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry, Philip Glass or Tangerine Dream, or even Orbital, Autechre, The Orb, Aphex Twin and LFO,... Together with French filmmaker Stéphane Berla, German photographer Katrin Gutershausen, graphic designer Mathieu Orioli, OTX has created a work of pure imagination that could be seen as the bizarre encounter between two worlds dear to OTX: music and cinema; thus, the artist perceives his own opus in terms of "cinematographic sounds" or "musical images", and skilfully mixes electronica rhythms with strangely innocent voices and special effects "from outer space". But OTX is also a highly explosive encounter between different musical trends like industrial, dark ambient, trance and drum'n'bass. With "Escape", OTX manages to create a multitude of disquieting virtual worlds, where the listener may endlessly get lost...
