Gianluigi Di Costanzo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gianluigi Di Costanzo, aka Bochum Welt, released a number of EPs and mini-albums on the Aphex Twin's Rephlex imprint: Module 2, Scharlach Eingang and FOAS to name a few titles. In the meantime, he enters the world of sound design for motion pictures producing the musical score of the Power Mac game "Pacman Deluxe". The fascination for technology and videogames is soon confirmed by his album Module 2 / Desktop Robotics published by Sony Music Japan. Bochum Welt boarded on the Rephlex Australian and European tour as opening act of The Aphex Twin. Together with a full immersion in sound design (Vodafone, Wind iMode, Nokia, Firstcom etc..) and working with Thomas Dolby's California based Beatnik and Headspace Inc. on different interactive audio projects, his music is released: the latest Rephlex compilations Braindance Coincidence and Rephlexions. Watch out for the forthcoming new stuff and his pro audio performances at Apple events.
