Folksinger, gifted songwriter, conceptual juggernaut, experimentated experimentator, Davide Balula is all of these things at the same time. His music blends guitar digressions and electronic wizardry, unified through the mingling textures of his frail voice and words.

Emmanuelle de Hericourt is a musician and a singer, playing in various musical projects (her own solo EDH, Les Chanteurs Americains, ii...). After the release of her debut album "Morgen" on Japanese label Intik, Emmanuelle largely contributed to Hypo's fourth album Random Veneziano, most notably the explosive "Free Days". Working principally with analogue synthesisers, Emmanuelle composes a unique kind of synthetic pop, light and somber at the same time, where ghostly crooning voices intertwine with references to the 1980s, and vocals that can both be fragile and disincarnated. EDH is co-composer of "The correct Use of Pets" with HYPO.

O.Lamm is odot.lamm, is o.l.lamm, is opoint l., is slow learner, is odot sings. Electronic musician. He likes weird noise, upbeat wizardry, spiraling crawling hooks and pompous melodies. Generates sounds from nothing as much as he kneads natural sounds through the technological prism, his prime purpose simply being to put his idealised vision of pop music into concrete form. In a few words, Olivier uses softwares, love, and snow and blends them to make music.

An imperfect yet ideal equilibrium between the sweet honey of Kumi, the strokes of gloominess and dysphony of ZoeÅL, and the hot classical excitations of Tamara. But not only. Also: the violence of love stories never entered into, of chocolate that melts too fast, the dadaism of a freakingly aggressive high tone hanging on the cotton wool  fabric of a whistled melody; Bach's or Scriabin's piano counterpoints, the weird audio textures of mind numbing electronics, the irrational intertwinings of Robert Wyatt, the vocal interminglings of the Beach boys and of some old medieval recitative
