Bio (English):
Luca Contato, also known as Luca Tronico, is a multifaceted Italian artist who’s made Las Palmas de Gran Canaria his home, in between his adventures of saving the world… with video games! By day, Luca delves into video game development, and by night, he transforms into a passionate dawless musician, venturing into experimental electronic music since 2021. With musical roots tracing back to his childhood where he studied the piano, Luca rediscovered his love for music with a compact digital instrument, the Pocket Operator, marking the beginning of his musical journey.
Musical Influences and Philosophy (English):
Driven by the 8-bit and 16-bit sounds of the ’90s, Luca draws inspiration from game loops like Street Fighter, Tetris, and Doom, as well as iconic bands like Kraftwerk and PowerGlove. His musical style sits between nostalgic synthwave and frenetic rhythms ready to make you dance, plunging listeners into a retro-futuristic ambiance reminiscent of old arcade games. Luca’s philosophy? “Limitations stimulate creativity.” He prefers to play compact instruments, often battery-powered, allowing him to create music anywhere, anytime. For him, music is dialogue, sharing, and emotion.
