SOUND IS
ONLY THE
BEGINNING

Prototype IX began with music. Over time, tracks, images, sketches and fragments of writing started to connect into something larger: a futuristic world where humanity is no longer at the centre of existence.

Music carries the energy of this world. Images give it a face. Writing reveals its people and contradictions. Short films and interactive experiences are the next chapters of a project being built one piece at a time.

This universe is being built gradually. Collaboration with musicians, visual artists, writers, filmmakers and game creators is part of that ambition. If something here connects with your own work, get in touch.

ONE ARTIST
MANY WORLDS

Prototype IX is the electronic project of Alejandro Pantoja Malatesta, a Bolivian-born artist based in Spain. More than two decades of musical exploration—across bands, instruments and creative approaches—have led to a psychedelic sound shaped by tension, emotion and release.

Music and digital art are the foundations. Photography, filmmaking, drawing and writing are other ways into the same world. A long-standing fascination with technology and futurism runs through the work, but the subject is human: fear, conflict, fragility, and the moments of peace we struggle to protect.

This is a personal, independent project, growing one piece at a time. Behind its darker atmosphere is a curious, restless creator who is always open to a conversation, a collaboration, or the next place to play.
