Biography
Marc Fantini is a musician and experimental artist born on December 29th in Aubonne, Switzerland. He is
currently living in Berlin.

After studying percussions and drums at the Conservatoire de Lausanne and at the EJMA jazz and contem-
porary music school, he co-founded Monno in 1999, a band that has since then become a reference in the
experimental music scene.
He is now part of several solo and group projects that have lead him to play all around Europe in clubs and
Festivals.

Since his arrival in Berlin in 2004, and deeply influenced by the great cultural diversity of the city, he has
extended the field of his artistic activities, including video art, painting, sculpture and electronic music to his
drummer background. This new orientation has lead to numerous collaborative works, including all types of
artists, such as Japanese artist Soichiro Mitsuya or the Irish dance company Input/Output.

In 2008, he has created a solo project, « petitemusiqueapocaliptyque » conceived as a synthesis of all


these years of shared experimentations. Including abstract musical compositions and video art, his work
has been displayed in several galleries and venues throughout Europe.

Since 2009, Marc Fantini has been involved in the creation and development of NK, an artistic centre in
Berlin that organises workshops, lectures and shows for international artists. His involvement has lead to
new collaborations in 2009, including performances with Joke Lanz (Sudden Infant), algorithmic composi-
tions with Spanish artist Rubén Patiño and a promising collaboration with Egyptian new media Artist Heba
Amin.
Projects / selected works
PETITEMUSIQUEAPOCALIPTYQUE
www.myspace.com/petitemusiqueapocaliptyque

This project, in constant evolution, is mostly composed of abstract musical compositions (from wall of
sounds to refined audio textures), mixed with video projections. The pieces are conceived as audio-visual
transcriptions of social and anthropological parameters experimented by the artist.

Through abstract worrying sounds, the compositions tend to generate a slight feeling of anxiety for the
auditor. To release or sometimes accentuate this feeling, the sound is accompanied with videos conceived
as cyclical or repetitive meditations. Most of the times, these visual perambulations picture the world as a
strange abandoned place where buildings are endless and life is almost inexistent, apart from animals and
the artist who sometimes appears in his creations.
Reflecting the great curiosity of its creator, the project is constantly including new medias, such as painting,
sculpture, stop motion and more recently 3d animations.

The video is exploring the contrast between nature and the helpless feeling generated by the blind architecture that surrounds us. This work has
been projected on rock formations as part of the MAW white desert project, an event that has taken place in November 2009 and that has been
shown in the Townhouse gallery in Cairo.

Collaboration between Marc Fantini and Japanese multimedia artist Soichiro Mitsuya, that has lead to
numerous performances in art galleries in Berlin between 2004 and 2007. Their artistic approach includes
sound installations, sculpture, video art and field recordings, as well as live electronic sound textures.

In 2007, The duo obtained a residency at the Parisian art centre « La Générale ». During this period, they
also played at « Les Instants Chavirés » in Montreuil. Hours of recorded performances and experiments
document their work.

The second piece of the P series is installed in the


unused staircase of the Residence, which used to be an
old ceramics factory in Paris. The installation, repeated in
various locations, is exploring the variation of resonance
of different spaces through the way they «vibrate».

Audio Visual Installation with Soichiro Mitsuya, 2008
La Generale en Manufacture, Paris

Performance that was part of a group exhibition taking


place in the House of the German Confederation of Trade
Unions. We played dance music, using sounds that were
associated to movements and communication, such as
airplane and a train, table tennis and a mobile telephone,
on a green tract in the middle of a street in front of the
House.

that the propeller beats the drum indefinitely. When a person en-
ters the Room, a passive infrared sensor operates, and turns on
the electricity. Suddenly, a light hits a solar panel, and the motor
touching colour tapes turns around, and opens a plastic flower.

Factory Berlin, Berlin
A work that featured the themes of circles, cycles, and circulation
systems. The main purpose of the exhibition is a comparison
between the concrete wheel that loses it edges little by little with
friction with the floor, and an Animation film. The images are pho-
tograph of the wheel, turning endlessly. The variation appears from
feedback loops like howling of a sound and the light that keeps on
changing artificially.

MONNO
www.myspace.com/monnosound
www.soundimplant.com/monno

Monno was formed in 1999 in Lausanne where the original mem-


bers -Antoine Chessex, Gilles Aubry and Marc Fantini)- met in the
experimental music scene.

After working together in different projects and recording a demo


tape, they started to play live as a quartet. The music in that time
was a mix of heavy rock, free jazz & electronic textures. They played
their first concert as Monno in 2002 in Berlin, the city they relocated
to.

In 2003 Subdeviant Recordings (a subdivision of Conspiracy Records) picked them up and released their
debut CD Candlelight Technology. Joined by Canadian bass player Derek Shirley, Monno left on tour for the
first time, shattering audiences and sharing stages with Melt Banana and Suicide’s Martin Rev.

In 2004, the were invited by LIGHTNING BOLT to join them on tour throughout Europe. Monno starts to
write new material for ERROR and brings it on tour with ISIS and JESU, resulting in a live recording of a
memorable concert in Ljubljana - fists in the air - The shear inertia of these songs made most self-styled
hardcore kids recoil in terror, but the energy coming of that stage warned us Error was not gonna go unnoti-
ced.
ERROR marked a change towards a heavier sound in the music: the sax is played through two guitar amps
and fires heavy riffs which don’t sound like saxophone any more, the laptop provides dense walls of noise
while bass and drums keep massive beats.

In 2007, they did a three-weeks european tour with KNUT and developed new material. They went back in
the studio in april 2008 to record GHOSTS, their third full length.

GHOSTS feature ethereal drones, haunted doom-riffs and poisonous beats, creating a dark undertow
between nightmarish paranoia and mysterious transcendence.

MONNO´s music is in constant mutation, like a reflection of the times we live in.
