Biography

There are currently several artists using the name Solex - a Dutch keyboard artist, and a trance music producer from Romania:

1. Dutch keyboard wizard Elisabeth Esselink, aka SOLEX is described in as many variations as her music. She’s an indie pop singer / songwriter / sample artist, or is she? Esselink’s haunting vocals combined with a varied array of found sounds (some of ’em found in the second-hand record shop she runs) recall few other experimental/pop crossovers. Solex inventive musical endeavours (with for example the Maarten Altena Ensemble) showcase a vocal presence (and a keen sense of humor) you won’t find elsewhere.

The Solex live show has evolved into a thing of extraordinary dexterity, merging the idiosyncrasies of her albums with the immediacy of a live band. In the past she played The Lowlands Festival, SxSW, Popkomm, CMJ, Noorderslag, Les Printemps de Bourges, Roskilde, toured Japan, Europe, Iceland, South America, the United States, done six Peel Sessions, and met lots of nice people.
Since the “Laughing stock of Indie rock” album she’s mainly been playing live with Marit de Loos (on drums).

2. His real name is Sinka Szilárd, who was born in Romania, on the city of Odorheiu Secuiesc in the april of 1989. His parrents was breed the child beside music from his small ages. Then, when he had been 7, the parrents had he written to a music school, where he gained admission at the 1st place! Under the 8 years, when he passed his time at school, he learned playing on piano and and acquired everything what it is necessary to know about the “music”.

    Watch this (http://vimeo.com/37157187) with its audio turned off and superfluity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozcfja8p7AU&feature=related) playing, instead (you'll have to restart superfluity half way through). Perfect match.

    shit's gotta change. Esselink is one of indie pop's true modern geniuses, yet it's only showing a little over 300k plays (between her & the Romanian artist) = (

    there's little doubt in my mind that any bad trip could easily be cured by listening to Low Kick and Hard Bop.

    soulbleed: there is more than one Solex, but obviously your simple mind cannot comprehend such a trivial possibility. Solex is a progressive trance artist who releases on the Mistiquemusic label, among others.

    @ gherat, waarschijnlijk omdat de gemidelde nederlander het onderscheid niet kan maken
