Digital Geist - Electronic Musician and Visual Artist
Name: Alex K
Location: Connecticut, USA
Genres: Techno, EBM, Ambient, Industrial
Alex K is a four-time Emmy Award-winning electronic musician and video artist from the northeastern United States, performing under the moniker Digital Geist. Since 1999, Alex has been producing and performing genre-blending electronic music characterized by heavy breakbeats, distorted synth leads, acid lines, and lush ambient pads.
His passion for electronic music was sparked in 1997 when a friend handed him a mixtape of Front 242. Inspired by local record stores, live shows, and underground parties, he began crafting his own unique sound using drum machines, samplers, and sequencers—originally all hardware-based in the pre-DAW era. He later embraced laptop-based setups with Ableton, Cubase, and Nuendo before returning to hardware-only performances in 2021.
As a visual artist, Alex creates his own stunning video content for live sets and releases. His Videoscapes combine abstract forms, signal-driven animations, and imagery of urban decay, giving his performances a rich audiovisual identity.
He has performed in New York City, Detroit, Switzerland, Belgium, and beyond, sharing the stage with leading names in the industrial and techno scenes. His latest work showcases a fusion of raw energy and refined execution—an uncompromising creative force continuing to push the boundaries of underground electronic art.
