The Asynchronous Drone Orchestra

Malvinus is the electronic music project of Maurizio Alvino, a classically trained jazz pianist who played in clubs and at festivals for years before trading the black and white keys for oscillators and sequencers. The transition took place in 2021, but it seemed as though it had always been in the cards: synthesizers had been a quiet obsession that had always accompanied his acoustic career. His sound moves between dark ambient textures and soft techno grooves, though Malvinus shuns genre labels. For him, it’s the soundscape that matters, not the category. In 2025, he released his first electronic album, *Synthetic Horizons For Dreamers*, a work that reflects both his musical past and his ongoing exploration of synthesis. It is part of a growing catalog that includes various singles and a YouTube channel dedicated to electronic music, followed by listeners around the world.
