Lugano ,Switzerland , Stendeck is anelectronic music act fronted byAlessandro Zampieri (bornJune 14 1977 ), and is heavily associated with theindustrial 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 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 atMontreal 'sC.O.M.A. festival.After two critically-acclaimed albums, 'Can You Hear My Call?' and last year's 'Faces', Stendeck brings his signature sound home to the
Tympanik Audio family for a new full-length album slated for release in winter 2008/09.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.Discography
