MUSIC FIRST
MORE TO COME

I'm Alejandro Pantoja Malatesta, a Bolivian-born artist based in Spain. Prototype IX is my musical project: hi-tech, psycore and dark psychedelic music shaped by aggression, melancholy and the raw complexity of being human.

After more than twenty years exploring music through different instruments, bands and creative approaches, I channel that experience into original productions, live performances and DJ sets. Music is the heart of this project — the place where everything begins.

Around that sound, a larger world is taking shape. Visual art and writing are growing alongside the music; short films, games and interactive stories are ambitions I'm building towards, gradually. One project, expanding one piece at a time.

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.
