Tapage

Tapage started his music career playing guitar in a hiphop / metal / crossover band. This band lasted for about one gig so he decided to take matters into his own hands. Tapage had already been using tracker programs to produce beats but soon the electronics started to play a much more important role. Inspired by IDM and breakcore alongside postrock and avantgarde composers, Tapage started to create a sound in which complicated harsh rhythms can coexist with dreamlike atmospheres.

For several years Tapage has been combining manipulated recordings and ethereal soundscapes with relentless rhythms and complex beat structures. When he started, the guitar still played an important role but the electronics soon took over, as his music evolved over time.

After a couple of releases on labels like Meta0 and Tympanik Audio, Tapage is beginning to study "sound design" to grow as a musician and expand the horizon of audio manipulation.
