Angelo Repetto
Zürich / Switzerland
Angelo Repetto (40) is a musical artist who lives and works in Zurich.
Angelo Repetto’s music can increasingly be deciphered as a psychedelic spectrum of laid-back pop, herbaceous synthesizer music and poetic musical universes. Since 2005, when he played with his first band Telaphones, he has become an active and essential part of the Swiss music scene. In doing so, he is constantly evolving, for the journey is profound and there is no goal; rather, for him it is a process of self-knowledge and exploration of musical diversity.
He is part of various projects such as Wolfman, which Repetto has been pursuing with Katerina Stoykova since 2013, or the Angelo Repetto Trio with Markus Kenel and Nicolas Stocker, whose album Sundown Explosion, released on Subject to Restriction Discs, is the basis. With his father Marco Repetto, he regularly plays live on special occasions, and with Chahida Rezgueni, he emerges into poetic worlds under the name rezguenirepetto. With his latest project Konstant! he explores dark, driven post-punk worlds with Nicolas Balmer.
He is currently working on a solo album in Swiss German under the pseudonym ANGI. An intimate weaving of knowledge acquired over the last 25 years of musical and life experience.
What all these projects have in common is Angelo Repetto’s unique musical aesthetic, with its ever-present gentle energy.
Or in his words:
“The sound you have in your head and the sound that comes out of your heart are often two different things. Bringing this dissonance down to a line is the greatest challenge. To produce music that is in harmony with itself is, for me, the definition of good music. And it’s not the quality that counts, but the vibe.
