Etmo is a soprano / tenor saxophonist and composer from France, based in London. He started to get into electronic sounds 12 years ago playing live with various DJs. He works with his own laptop based electronic set, writing tracks while exploring eclectic beats and a wide array of sounds and influences from around the globe. From moody breaks to subtle beats, he includes snippets from field recordings and recycled voices of friends and family.

Etmo plays his compositions live with a changing line-up of collaborators. Currently these include Mauro Cassavetz: Electronics + FX, keyboard, vocal, melodica and various drums/percussionist guest, and/or DJ Sio B'baas on laptop and FX. Using laptop, saxophones and ethnic flutes, Etmo has called his musical exploration ‘From Ka’lei’ (ka’lei, Greek root of the word Kaleidoscope) to summarise his approach to live electronic performance as well as his studio compositions. His first album, released on May 2004 and distributed on line, includes a DVD which is an interactive creation between 7 visual artists and himself as a musician / composer. -VJ Stéphane Malenfant mixes visuals from the DVD live. At the same time Etmo also features on various electronic releases and has collaborated with Italian musician Cassavetz (from the Indie band Sunny Day Sets Fire). Etmo has been playing his own blend of digital jazz-experience and electro-improv since 1998. As well, he is currently performing live with Eyelead (a live project with guitar player Franch Alba - who is also part of the band Piano Magic) (www.myspace.com/eyelead), and the band Pulsar (www.myspace.com/pulsarcontact).
