Intro

Andreas Tilliander is a pivotal figure in the Swedish electronic scene, emerging in the late 1990s as a key architect of the 'clicks & cuts' movement. His early work on prestigious labels like Raster-Noton and Mille Plateaux established him as a master of minimal, glitch-based composition.

Over a career spanning nearly three decades, Tilliander has demonstrated remarkable versatility, moving from the clinical precision of IDM to the warm, hardware-driven techno of his TM404 alias and even into synth-pop territories. His sound identity is defined by a deep reverence for analog hardware, particularly the Buchla modular system and Roland's TB-303, which he uses to create organic, breathing textures within rigid electronic frameworks. As a two-time Swedish Grammy winner and a respected mastering engineer at Repeatle Studios, his influence extends beyond his own recordings into the very fabric of modern European electronic production. He remains a central node in the web connecting academic computer music, underground techno, and experimental dub.
