Orghanon is the solo venture of Sergio Calzoni, producer and musician active since the nineties in various musical outfits (Act Noir, Colloquio, ILUITEQ).

In 2015 the debut album "Figures In Slow Motion" was released by Eibon Records. This work, thoroughly mastered by the legendary Mike Marsh at the Exchange Studios, seamlessly fuses trip-hop sonorities with jazz, ambient and glitch elements.

In 2016 Orghanon composed the soundtrack for the theatre performance "F_rankenstein", a revamped version of the Frankenstein myth produced by the acting company Officina Teatrale A_ctuar.
 
In 2017 the sophomore album "Retrospectre" was released by the American cult-boutique label Time Released Sound. The album is a very personal exploration of childhood memories relived as ambient music soundscapes.

After a five years hiatus, in 2022 the album "Droneworks I-V" came to light, with the support of Italian label St.An.Da.

In 2024 the album "Future In Motion" is released by the eclectic label Mahorka. This album reconnects with the multifaceted sound that distinguished the debut album of Orghanon, in which the concept of motion becomes more dynamic and accelerated, compared to the static nature and slow movements of the debut record.
With this new album, Orghanon pays homage to the electronic music culture that arose at the beginning of the new millennium, with computer-based recording software becoming more and more affordable for aspiring bedroom producers. "Future In Motion" is permeated by this retro-futuristic vibe, making extensive use of software music tools for sound manipulation and the creation of glitchy soundscapes.

Growing up in Switzerland, Andy, aka Lazy Marf, was captivated by the hip-hop movement of the ‘90s. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s music, which he first heard on the radio, had a profound impact on him, inspiring him to start making his own beats and writing lyrics. It became clear that music was his true form of expression.
In the early 2000s Madlib and J Dilla’s music introduced him to a new way of production. Lyrics were not anymore necessary, He could focus on composition and sound design in order to spread his feelings.
His passion for instrumentals deepened, and when he discovered Flying Lotus and the Brainfeeder scene, his vision expanded. He started following everything was gravitating around the Low End Theory and therefore experimenting with new sounds in order to find his style.

Since then, his beats have blended Hip Hop, Bass, Future Beatz, Synthwave, ‘80s tunes, and ‘90s dance music. While he still struggles to define his style, it undeniably reflects his diverse experiences.

In recent years, Lazy Marf has released music through several labels, including Filthy Fingers United, Space Rules, and Alchemy Union, and has collaborated with various artists. A major turning point came in February 2019 when he won the 12th Beat Cinema Beat Battle. Seizing the opportunity, he moved to LA, where he worked with top artists and performed at numerous events across California.

Astronaut of Mind is a solo project based on ambient music and post-rock. 
The first record is an EP called "Tales" made in early 2015. In October 24th A.o.M. released the first album "Tales of the Wood", which contains several re-recorded tracks from "Tales" and new originals, that is a soundtrack-album for a photo exhibit on Grimm's Fairytales.
A new EP "There and Back Again" is available from the 25th December 2016.
