Guido Zen

Guido Zen is an Italian electronic musician and producer based in Rome and London. His path started as a sound engineer in West London in the mid nineties while his own projects were beginning to take shape. His first releases date back to 1997. In 1999 he founded the Gamers In Exile duo and their own Unbearable Recordings label that released a long series of seven inches of their music and other artists. He performed at Art Basel and Venice Biennale and has collaborated with Goodiepal, V/Vm, Kevin Blechdom and Seahawks. He is also a member of the cosmic band Brain Machine. He worked on interactive sound installations for MAXXI museum in Rome, Burberry stores and Pitti fashion show and his soundtracks include the music for the film “Biutiful Cauntri”, that won several prizes including Nastro D’Argento as Best Documentary in Italy. Guido is self-taught and his constant research for a new sound palette made him build his own pieces of software and analog synthesizers and modules that he uses extensively on his work.
