[edit] Biography
Dellandrea has only been involved in the creation of electronic music since 2001. However, he has played the piano since the age of 13 and the violin since age 4. His first foray into published electronic music was the self-released Small Comfort EP in 2003. Next came the mp3-release Fragment Synthesis at Hippocamp.net. That release was removed from the site due to label interest and is no longer available, although one or two of the tracks may be re-released in the future. Dellandrea’s big break finally came when he was signed to Scotland’s Benbecula Records and released a self-titled EP in March of 2005. His first full-length release of new material is expected in early 2007.
[edit] Influences
Early musical influences mentioned by Dellandrea are Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, the Beach Boys, and The Cars. While the electronica influences on his work are likely to be wide and varied, those which can clearly be heard reflected in Dellandrea's music include Boards of Canada and fellow Benbecula labelmate, Christ.
