TYPHON began as a solo project in 2013 initiated by John Silvestre, producer (Eckhart), multi-instrumentalist, film composer, and sound engineer.
After three chamber albums composed and recorded in Brussels between 2013 and 2015, based on electric guitars sampled through a looper and sometimes accompanied by drums, TYPHON recorded his first co-produced EP in 2017, Pine Cone Songs, evolving from loop music towards more orchestral compositions.
In 2020, his latest LP, AVANT L'AURORE (released in 2021), saw the solo project expand for the first time with four new members: Gabriel Goumaz (drums), Simon Genoud (guitar), Luca Manco (bass), and Cleopatre Malpeli (vocals, percussion).
Unique and captivating, TYPHON's universe explores a wide range of influences, from folk to post-rock, from film scores to noise, offering an experience that is both intensely punk and poetically introspective.
The band is currently based in Vevey, Switzerland. In August 2022, they recorded their latest LP (supported by the city of Vevey), "L'OR," which was released on October 30, 2025, on Bleu Lagon Records.
