Fabricka is an experimental electronic music alias of Simon Grech based in Malta, blending the raw emotion of film scores with the intricate complexities of IDM, Glitch, and Electronica. With a passion for exploring the boundaries of sound, Simon's music takes listeners on a journey of self-reflection, emotional depth, and mental liberation.

Born into a musical environment, his journey began at the age of 6, when he started studying piano at the prestigious Johann Strauss School of Music in Malta. Early on, a love for classical music was nurtured, but it wasn’t until his teenage years that a fascination with machine-made music emerged. A pivotal moment in his musical evolution came when he discovered the experimental works of artists like Apparat, Telefon Tel Aviv and Max Cooper - artists who shaped his sonic landscape and steered their creativity toward the left-field realms of electronic music.

Drawing influence from a diverse array of film scores and electronica, Fabricka's sound is as much about deconstructing musical norms as it is about capturing raw emotion. His tracks often explore themes of self-reflection, confronting fear, and magnifying the emotions that often lurk in the depths of the mind. Through his music, Simon seeks to empower listeners to break down their mental barriers and face their inner struggles.
