Jannis Carbotta (1993) is a musician, composer and interdisciplinary sound artist currently living in Cologne (GER). He studied Music and Media in Düsseldorf and completed a short-term course in computer music and sound art at Kunstuni Graz (AUT).

The focus of Jannis' artistic work lies in the field of tension between analogue and digital spaces. He has already realised sound installations at the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf and researched the topic of listening/hearing. His musical approach sometimes focuses on processed field recordings and textural sounds, sometimes it consists of experiments on synthesizers, samplers and electric guitar.

His current side project AEOL explores sounds of wind organs in combination with synthesizers and sound collages. In addition to his studies at the Institute of Music and Media, which also develops his skills in the visual and sonic arts, he has always been active in various band formations as a musician (No Visa, Infant Finches, Oort), and curated radio shows as a DJ (Noods Radio, Dublab, LYL Radio, …).

He released his first solo EP ‘A Magic Spin’ on Kame House Records in February 2023.
