Bartolomeo Sailer started to make music at the beginning of the 90s after he had developed his musical taste by animating a radio show airing early Acid music, Industrial, (post)Punk, and Avant-Garde. By then, he was using an Amiga 2000 with a tracker software and a DIY 8 bit sound card, just sampling cutting and pasting + eventually sequencing. Later on, he added a Yamaha CS-5 and started to develop a personal style, while DJing at a mythical underground club in Bologna called LINK. His idea was to use concrete sounds to produce Techno. Ever since the music has managed to bring some rhythmic playfulness to a good dose of experimentations. Pleasure for body and mind!

In 1999 my first record as Wang Inc. appeared on Sonig/Thrill Jockey and it was called “Plastic/Metal,” a title I had chosen because of the sounds I used. Then the second album on BiP-HOp, “Risotto in 4/4,” came out, and a few years later another album on Context.fm and a few singles on Persistence Bit. At this point it’s 2010; I’m married, have a child, and must feed the family, so I embarked into 5 dark years of music for jingles. Divorce took place, life got fucked up. I sold my CS-5 to buy a Doepfer Dark Energy mark 1, my first semi modular synth. The projects called Walking Mountains (a sort of computer programmed post rock) and White Raven (romantic techno) appears and disappeared. I started my own label with friend Carlo Mameli called Random Numbers and Wang Inc. came back with a new 12” called “Mediterraneo.”
