Electronic music played by hand: synths, turntables, modular and voice.
OXSA plays electronic music the way you play an instrument: synthesizer, turntables, hand-built modular racks and voice. Where most electronic live sets are driven, his is played.
Behind it is Patrick Eichenberger, a musician from Geneva. Piano at four, scratching at twelve, self-taught on a turntable found in the street. He has played Paléo Festival twice, Montreux Jazz and the Electron Festival, and writes, arranges and mixes for other artists from his studio in Meyrin.
He released ASTROSPORA in June 2026, twelve tracks put out independently on his own imprint ADESIV. His current work pushes modular synthesis toward song: in October 2026 he created LÀ-EAU for the Undertown's thirtieth anniversary, some fifteen minutes of yodel through autotune, scratching and synthesis.
I spent years in the shadows: in the control room, in the studio, in a band. Meanwhile, producing on a computer became the norm, then came the AI generators. I went the other way. After miles of digital automation inside software, nothing felt as warm, as alive as analogue electronics, or as musical as turning a knob or patching a cable, like playing keys, scratching and singing. I am a pianist before I am a DJ; the modulars gave me back my hands, the band gave me back my voice. This is not a new direction, it is mine. LÀ-EAU is one stretch of that road.
