Think or Smile - Musical Eyes: Retro Futurism
PEPEPIANO is a made up band name from David Bird’s past, plucked from his imagination to impress and perhaps perplex his schoolmates. Today, PEPEPIANO is this Cali native/Midwestern space argonaut/student of sound’s alias under which he produces some of the richest bedroom/laptop/electrospacefunk around. He’s also a lover of art, with an eye for envisioned futures of our not so...
PEPEPIANO - Think or Smile Summer Mixtape
For lovers of the annual turning of the leaves, for those who revel in the crisp evening air, this time of year is welcomed with open sweater-clad arms. Heat seekers may not share our sentiment. But with any inevitable change it’s good to look back and pay homage to our warmer memories. PEPEPIANO, one of my favorite sonic space explorers, has been gracious enough to create this (end of)...

Interview: Pepepiano
Via JukeBox Breakdown
Interview: Pepepiano
David Bird, the dude behind the electronic project Pepepiano, makes trippy music. Whether or not he wanted to make that his M.O. he has succeeded. His looped-out, big beat tracks beg for summer or drugs or beer or beaches or space or hot babes or existence or any other adjectives the cover art above could readily supply you with. The tracks on his...

PEPEPIANO - NEW RELEASE
friends and lovers—
I’m pleased to announce the collected culmination of recent efforts in the form of the following self-titled full length.
Over the months I’ve garnered my tapes, smashed my moog, whacked out my childhood playschool tape player and lost a roommate to the incessancy of routine mixing. But as always, I have taken the not-at-all unprecedented...

The muscle heroes of the board walk,
purple visions of the buggy boyz, in the early morning

no more woes
enjoy :)

“We had no idea how much we would shape the future with our research. For years we were conducting our experiments hoping for the results we all knew were possible. The eggs were fertile as was the seed and yet something was going wrong. Each new insertion proved to be a challenging blow to both our science and our egos. This game of playing God was such a testing ground for our combined...
