Noiro

Biographie

Taking you from the beach across the concert hall to the dancefloor, this is Noiro.

Zurich based composer Noiro combines uplifting melodies with a broad range of electronic music styles. From dreamy atmospheres to banging club beats, Noiro's tracks are a journey rather than a rigid statement.

"My music basically reflects my never-ending curiosity about many genres of electronic music, so I'm struggling when people ask me which genre I'm in. I do dance music that is soft enough to not only listen to it in a club or on a dance floor, music that often has a strong beat or bassline but still is melodic enough to listen to it on the couch at home. If there's one artist that has influenced me since I've started to produce music, it's Chicane. His track "Offshore" released back in 1996 has really started my love affair with euphoric melodies and loops.

Influenced by an adolescence spent at too many raves in the 90s - the decade where electronic music reached the masses and where a new style called Eurodance was crowding the charts worldwide - Noiro started his musical career in his bedroom without any classical training but a great deal of enthusiasm for midi sequencers and similar geek stuff on his computer.

"I always loved great melodies that simply connect with the audience and I was always driven by about an unstoppable curiosity about how it's made. I've spent hours and hours trying to get that trancey sound of the late nineties back then, without any professional gear at all. Of course this mission was doomed to fail big time, but I've had some much fun playing around with all those knobs and keys and I've learnt a lot about music!", says the Swiss artist.

But before the first official release of his music to the public, Noiro's drum machines and other studio gear were put on sleep mode for quite a long time. "As an amateur musician with only very little time to work on my tracks, composing music really became that kind of 'always on hold but one day I'm definitely going to realize it dream project', meaning it was always looming in the back of my head and soul but I thought of it as noise that would pass as life goes on. But as the noise got louder and louder, the day came where I realized that now is the time to do something about it. So over a decade after my first attempts to get into electronic music composition, I've stopped everything else for a while to wrap my head around synthesizers and groove machines again, but this time I've promised myself not to stop before the release of my first album. I did this with a bright smile on my face, remembering the days when I was sitting in my bedroom going bonkers for that one killer melody, dancing on my own."
