The Astroboy is the moniker of Luís Fernandes, a member of the PAD label/artist collective based in Braga, Portugal. Drones, timbral explorations and contemplative soundscapes characterised his early releases A Derrota Da Engrenagem (2007) and 090309 (2009). On The Chromium Fence he updated his meditational sketches with kosmische elements. Taken from The Wire Tapper 27, issue 333, November 2011.
