stahlfabrik

''josep maria soler'' (a.k.a. ''stahlfabrik'') is an ''electronic / experimental / post-industrial / ambient / minimal / trance'' artist hailing from ''barcelona'', spain. ''electronic'' music first came to him at the age of 12 when he made his first contact with that synthetic sound later known as ''techno pop''. hand in hand with projects like ''human league'', ''rheingold'', ''ultravox'' & ''cabaret voltaire'', he began to create his interest in synthesizers & the ''electronic'' music surroundings. over the years he has managed to cultivate a grand collection of record material which made him one of the most prominent collectors of ''electronic'' music in whole spain.
at the age of 20, he met another ''electronic'' music collector called ''jose manuel gonzalez'' & the meeting ended as collaboration on a project aimed at producing underground ''electronic'' music flavored with ''industrial'' sound of the 80's. nevertheless, strong in spirit but amateurs in using electronic equipment the duo didn't last too long. this led ''josep'' to devote himself to the study & exploration of all those sound kits & gadgets.
finally, in 2008, he began acquiring synthesizers & computers gradually, which ment the absolute availability of making those sounds which until then existed only in his mind or in some sketches created over the years. that's how ''stahlfabrik'' was born, first as a duo with his friend ''jesús díaz cordoba'', & later as a joseph's solo project.
the sound of ''stahlfabrik'' is now made mostly by analog synths & it's a virtualization of an apocalyptic world & its industrial environment but not as a struggle, but as the sound of the beholder.
