--> BIO :
Born
in Epinal (France) in 1980 from an Sicilian family Frank Riggio
lives now in the south of France, near Toulouse.
Electronic music lover since his childhood, he begins to mix acid music
with turntables at the age of sixteen. At 18, he buys his first hardware
and he creates two years later his own label, Sagaloops, who
had recognition in the rave and hardtek movement. From 2000 to 2005,
he has produced fifteen EP's (vinyl), with publication to 1500 items
each, and he has also collaborated to other projects on various labels.
In 2005, Frank took a fresh start and wanted to work on other musical
style, and then he ended the Sagaloops experience.
The same year he produced illustrative music for french television (Canal+),
working for basketball magazines.
Along to these works, and influenced by Amon Tobin, Bonobo
or Dj Shadow, he composes cinematic and colorful electronica.
Frank's music is sample-based, and he finds his sources in all kind
of musical genres, acoustic or electronic, with a great passion for
movie soundtracks, oriental and psychedelic music. His composition is
centered on sample's harmonics, surrounded by great beats. The result
is a dense, rich and intense music, that can be dark or shiny, but always
elegant.
Early 2007, under the name Frank Riggio, he finalized his first
LP (Visible in Darkness), and was signed to british label CCT
Records.
