Emanuele Pertoldi was born in a small village in the North East of Italy. Since he was a child he had a strong passion for music and it became stronger and stronger. He took a degree in Modern Music - Music Production in Bologna.

Sound research, creativity and passion are the keys of his tracks.
 He founded Evasion Room Records with Riccardo D'Agostini in 2011 and Evasion Room Live with Riccardo, Daniele and Andrea, a live based on improvisations only with hardware machines and synths. He is doing other projects with these guys. With Andrea as Tripsolate & Redundænt and with Riccardo as Synkät.

In 2013 he started a new alias, S/EXP (Shaded Explorer), with the aim to represent himself in a more intimate way. 
Following this concept in 2014 he founded his own intimate imprint Shaded Explorations.

2013 was important also for another new project, Mørk, with his Berlin based friend Devincenti Francesco.
