Benjamin Morando and Benoît de Villeneuve have both already released records on the Diamondtraxx and Pias labels. They signed an impressive number of remixes for prestigious artists such as Beck,
Ennio Morricone, Stephan Eicher, Christophe Willem, M83, Agoria, TTC… Realizing how complementary their mindsets were, they quickly decided to join their talent and work together on creating music for picture based media.

Benjamin Morando

having followed classical piano and violin study, Benjamin Morando becomes an iconoclast composer, harnessing electronic instruments to cultivate the musical fields with an energy only matched by his serious appetite for off-the-beaten tracks projects: Pentile, France Copland and Octet, whose first release was widely recognized by french and international publications (Le Monde, Libération, Les Inrockuptibles, Technikart, La Repubblica, Spex...).
He performed in France and abroad in Montréal, New York, Berlin, Milan, Londres, Tokyo and Copenhague. He signed remixes for Beck, Ennio Morricone, Stephan Eicher, TTC. He is one of the master minds behind the famous Dirty compilations, recognized by the critics as essentials in any respectable music collection.
