HAPLOID

Biographie

Haploid’s melancholic and saturnine piano-driven Art-Pop is created by vocalist Chris Donovan, pianist Tom Seth, guitarist Reydana and drummer Patricia Potter. Formed in 2003 in Southern Switzerland, the band immediately started their journey to discover their musical language by creating their own original music, their inspirations ranging from Pink Floyd to Coldplay, from Ligeti to Blackfield, from Tori Amos to Radiohead.
The group debuted in 2008 with their self-released EP “Stone”, recorded with engineers Bernie Staub at Avalon Music Studio (Berg, Switzerland) and Dom Torche & Bertrand Siffert at Relief Studio (Belfaux, Switzerland).
Haploid’s ambition is to create songs that are like allegorical movies, like aural landscapes: dreams of passion, love, fear or madness painted with the achromatic colours of oblivion.
