Based in Lugano, Switzerland, Stendeck is an electronic music act fronted by Alessandro Zampieri (born June 14, 1977), and is heavily associated with the industrial music scene.

Zampieri is a classically trained pianist, forming Stendeck in 1999 as part of a growing interest in electronic music. In 2002 he put all his efforts in the making of his first demo album, "A crash into another world", which was very well received in his native Switzerland. Stendeck's current sound, marked by ambience, distorted beats and noisy keys with acoustic instruments, was developed while working on a short-film titled "The Bridge" in 2003, by director Gaston Dupuy. During the same year Zampieri began work on his debut album, titled "Can you hear my call?". It was released by Geska Records) and was mastered by Mike Wells of Gridlock. He has since been featured at Montreal's C.O.M.A. festival.

The name Stendeck is a variation of "stendec", the final strange Morse code radio message sent by the plane Star Dust on August 2 1947 before its mysterious disappearance.
