Howtobeanastronaut is an electronic music project by the italian Federico De Falco, born 1995. His influences come from post-rock as well as from various genres of electronica, making his sound flowing through strong, glitched beats and smooth, airy synths, as the result of analogue and digital combination. His first official work, Mechanical Antithesis, is a 4 track EP, distributed by the italian independent label ARIAM Records, which was published in the october of 2015, few months after the project kicked off. The EP received very positive feedbacks from various renomated italian webzines just like Rockit.it, Music Coast to Coast, A New Hope Webzine etc. Mechanical Antithesis was worth the presence with his live sets, during 2016, at festivals and events, among others, such as In Winter Time 2(alongside artists like Jolly Mare, Godblesscomputers, M+A, Capibara); 2016 edition of Disorder and Segnali Music Fest, sharing the stage with Dardust.
