Here's Last.fm player inlcuding Noisy Pipes digital E.P "After the drift...", available on June 5th, 2007 on D-A-R-K records
Sandy Klaus, a weird name, clearly inspired by the universe of Tim Burton (The Nightmare before Christmas, that movie where Santa Claus had been renamed Sandy Claws by the freaks of Halloween town).
First a rock music lover, drummer, guitar player and composer in a few bands, Nicolas Zappa, early started his psychedelic music classes via the classics of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and many others like Frank Zappa (not relative). Then one day, the dark side took him to the abysses of gothic music from Joy division to Nine Inch Nails obviously swinging by the electro industrial side of Laibach and the EBM current led by Front 242. That's how this little nice boy was corrupt by the devil of electronic music. But in 2002, his best friend took him in his first rave party to make him discover a music and an atmosphere: psychedelic trance. Then, the machine was launched. Slowly but surely, curiosity working, he began to get interest into Djing. From spring 2004, he started to play at little parties using the nickname Sandy Klaus, and then, he began to be play in bigger events with artists like Triskell, Digital talk, Silicon sound, Jaia, Little Pumpkin, Kaa, Guet, Timelock, Hyper frequencies, Miss Tick...
May 2005, he starts his own psychedelic night time project called Noisy pipes, this is a new beginning. His first release will be a collaboration with Little Pumpkin called DTC on the swiss label Peak records.
Besides his artistic activities,from september 2004 to June 2006, Sandy Klaus was hosting a radio show with Guet called Trance Vallee Express on Vallee FM (french radio station on the east side of Paris) as announcer and DJ.
