LAN Formatique

You're admiring my brainbow, I see.

About Me

Ever evolving, LAN Formatique is an artist in a constant state of flux. From inauspicious beginnings in the cold world of IDM through the melodic electronica his 2006 debut album, "Goodnight Noises Everywhere", he has never allowed himself to stagnate. Fusing together such disparate elements as electronic glitches, orchestral arrangements and distorted guitar work, the music of LAN Formatique is one that comfortably straddles genres and remains wholly personal.
