Aitor Etxebarria

Spanish / Basque independent composer and programer based in the Basque Country. Born in Gernika in 1985, Aitor combines electronic and acoustic instruments with a primary focus on pianos and synthesizers, coupled with recordings which range from post-rock depressive landscapes to minimalistic ambient scenarios. Also producer, he founded his own label Forbidden Colours.
A learned percussionist, pianist and a vintage gear collector, Etxebarria is a lover of repetitions with a passionate obsession. With his debut work on film score for the acclaimed original soundtrack of “Markak”, Aitor is opening a new era after his enigmatic years behind the alias of EL_TXEF_A.
