Tapage
Biography_
Tapage began as an axe-grinder for a short-lived metal/hip-hop band in the Netherlands. He soon departed from his roots when introduced to tracker programming and began developing electronic beats and fusing guitar with synthetic sounds. It wasn’t long before Tapage started formulating his own style, experimenting with the vast possibilities of electronic sound manipulation.
Inspired by IDM and Breakcore genres, as well as Post-Rock and Avant-Garde composers, Tapage continued with his vision to merge complicated, harsh rhythms with dream-like atmospheres to create a unique dynamic that is virtually impossible to ignore.
Now, Tapage joins the ranks of innovative electronic music composers in the Tympanik Audio artist family with his debut full-length debut CD ‘The Institute Of Random Events’.
Combining glitch-tech beats with entrancing atmospheres and serendipitous melodies, ‘The Institute Of Random Events‘ will captivate your awareness and lure you in for a mysterious and complex aural expedition. ‘TIORE‘ has the potential of becoming the sleeper hit of the year.
A distinctive futuristic vision of electronic music possibilities.
“…at first mellows you softly making you unguarded, and once you became enmeshed it will pull you unwarily deep down below.” - Music Far Beyond Human Kind
“The production is incredible…” - Wounds of the Earth
“…if you wanted Hecq to do an album with breaks and click/pops, this might be as close as it gets.” - Connexion Bizarre
In the works: Watch for a fantastic new remix by Tapage for Aphorism’s debut album ‘Surge‘, a dynamic new track for our upcoming DCD compilation ‘Emerging Organisms 2‘, and a brand new album ‘Fallen Clouds‘ in the Spring of 2009, all on Tympanik Audio.
