The Astroboy is the moniker of Luís Fernandes, a member of the PAD label/artist collective based in Braga, Portugal. Drone, timbral exploration and contemplative soundscapes built from analogue synthesis, digital manipulation and guitars were used on early releases A Derrota Da Engrenagem (2007) and 090309 (2009). On his latest record, The Chromium Fence, his meditational sketches have been updated with Kosmische elements.
