Born 1976 Osaka, presently resident in Berlin Germany. Since the first album, 'SILICOM', released at the beginning of 2001, Aoki has been reviewing his personal methodology whilst actively creating sounds based mainly on computer/software. Aoki is an energetic artist vigorously expanding the limits of original musical expression. Aoki's live musical performances are achieving as high critical acclaim in and outside with as much gravity as he personally places on the indivisibility of his creativity, the quality and intensity of which is yearly evolving.

Being a former jazz saxophonist jon ekeskov aka pixel has a slightly different approach to electronica.

Unconventional for modern electronic music, he studied at the conservatory with saxophone as his main instrument. With this, and later studies of konnakol (an ancient south indian rhythm system) he intends to bring "swing" and complex polyrhythmic structures to tightly quantized music.

Together with sensitive lyrical melodies that melt into each other and sometimes even melodic improvisation, he tries to expand the ears of the listener without them noticing.

The music of pixel is based on both an intellectual side, but also responds to the listener in a more bodily fashion.
