Music like chewing foil – only better.
Born in Singapore and raised in Basel, Silvio Tommasini – aka monoblock b – has been active since the early 1990s as a musician, performer, DJ and sonic explorer. Shaped by Darkwave, Industrial, Punk and EBM, he blends bleak soundscapes with technoid rhythms and distorted vocals – raw, intense, and uncompromising. His first band was aptly named L’Amour Sauvage.
In the late ’90s, he moved to Zurich and co-founded the experimental label Spezialmaterial. Since then, monoblock b has played clubs, festivals and art venues across Switzerland, Europe and beyond – often described as a “phenomenon” with wild, spectacular live shows.
He has released seven solo works and appears on over 20 compilations. Alongside his solo music, he also composes for theatre productions, performances, installations and experimental formats.
