Still young Maurizio Dami fell under the spell of music and wandered along its avenues until he put together something that he called “Avida– a dance cabaret band” composed by himself, Daniele Trambusti and Stefano Fuochi. But it was under his art-name Alexander Robotnick that in 1983 he hogged the limelight of the international music scene thanks to “Problèmes d’Amour”. In ’84 he ventured into the video & installation world, joining “Giovanotti Mondani Meccanici”, a multi-media oriented group, whose works ranged from sound-tracks for theatre works, videos and video-installations. His exploration into ambient music led him to compose for special events and fashion exhibitions (Pitti Immagine, Prato Expo,Capucci, Missoni) followed by soundtracks for films and theatre-works. As a curious and explorative kind of being, in ’88 he expanded his horizons to World Music. From ’97 to 2003 he gradually drifted from world-music to electronics with “Oh no…Robotnick” in collaboration with Max Durante and Matteo Logi. Still fascinated by old analog synths and TB303 and the typical 80s sound that was at the origins of his success, he turned to his “archives” and in October 2003 published “Rare Robotnick’s” a collection of my vintage tracks. As a DJ he has played at many clubs in the world such as: Ministry of Sound, Fabric, Love in NYC, Razmataz, Smart Bar, Berghain, Paradiso Rex and performed at numerous international festivals. But he has never given up producing music, developing projects and working on collaborations.
