Daniele Pagliero, born in Turin in 1975, has started as independent musician in his town in 1993. His first music projects are focused on situationist noise improvisation with bands such as Down (voice and effects) and Switch Off (percussions), on industrial electronic experimentations with Whip (electric guitar and programming) and on noise-rock with Amoniaka, band in wich he plays the electric bass guitar.

Afterwards he studies piano jazz and works as sound engineer for Larsen and Daniele Brusaschetto. He co-operates and realizes with them music projetcs and various productions. Between 1995 and 1998 he plays electric bass guitar in his band, Scumcide , following the trend of extreme music (hardcore, grindcore and crust) very popular in the squatter communities of Turin at that time.

During this period he records some home-made demotapes of industrial electronic music that came out in 2006 produced from Setoladimaiale Label, with the title of "Tapes to Cd".
In 1998 he starts a solo career as Lo Dev Alm playing only electronic music and in 2000 he comes out with the cd "Eye/mouth ep" which contains a collection of his first works recorded during these two years.

Besides this solo activity he co-operates with bands playing non-conventional and improvised music and in 1999 takes part in the Biennal Festival of Venice with the Setola di Maiale Unit and starts the new Gbur project. These are the first works in witch he starts to use electronic as improvised music.

Always playing improvised electronic music, in 2001 he sets up the duet Ipersensity with Stefano Giust and they take part togheter in the Biennal of young artists in Pordenone and Turin.
In the same year he starts to co-operate with Frammenti, a 90's well-known hardcore band from Turin, going through a sound evolution between post-rock and electronic lo-fi.

In 2004 he supports Larsen in the “cartonianimalettimatti” project playng again the electric bass guitar and recording the soundtrack of Windsor McCay's Cartoon that has been performed in many art and film festivals. In November 2006 he creates with Fabio Battistetti the netlabel Chew-Z with the aim of giving more attention to the non conventional artists, who are focused on sound research and experimentation.

Daniele Pagliero lives in Turin where since 2001 he has been working as software designer and multimedia application developer.
