Cineplexx is the alias of the singer songwriter Sebastian Litmanovich - Born March 13th 1973at Buenos Aires, Argentina. Graphic Artist and musician that currently calls Barcelona his home. Growing up at a time when the sounds of punk clashed with the short-lived wave of disco and the singer-songwriter was contrasted by the album-centric epics of bands like Pink Floyd, Sebastian found himself somewhere in the middle. "The Velvet Underground were the first band that really blew my mind… and I've been a fan of ABBA ever since I was four," he admits. For Sebastian, his life and career have been as varied and exciting as his musical influences.

In 1998, after a few bands and a lot of design work, Cineplexx was born when Sebastian and his brother and frequent collaborator, Martin Litmanovich, bought themselves a four-track. In somewhat of an obsessive nature, Sebastian recorded a slew of material that ranged from electronic driven pop to full on instrumental landscapes of blips and beeps. His first release came through Caipirinha; an experimental electronic label based in NY.

Soon thereafter, Cineplexx began playing shows - in Argentina, New York and Tokyo, appearing at the Lowlands Festival in Holland and the Sonar Festival in Barcelona, just to name a few. Soon after finishing his next release in 2002, he took off to Barcelona where he established his design studio, Tea Time and himself as a performing musician. For four years he played around Europe and Asia both as Cineplexx and as part of the audio-visual duo, Cacahuetes Inc, performing at film festivals around the world. In 2006, longtime friend, Federico Aubele (ESL Records) invited Sebastian to join his band on a European Tour.

Last year Cineplexx began work on Picnic, enlisting the help of friends Duglas Stewart (BMX Bandits), Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Jad Fair and Federico Aubele to flesh out the 13 song record. The outcome is truly beautiful - with a throng of strings, wall-of-sound-like arrangements and Spanish language vocals, Cineplexx has delivered to our shores an instant classic.

He also made some albums under diverse alias such as Amarena Incident (a post rock band from 1997), Readme & Anthony (a collage electronic band), Portatile Room Mobile (a cover band together with Leumann.net), and Cacahuetes Inc. (a fake documentary producer with aBe) and also have some collaborations with Jad Fair, Daniel Melero, Glaznost, Leumann, Sebastian Kramer, Wevie Stonder, Jaime sin Tierra, Giradioses, jackson souvenirs, aBe (bcn), Duglas Stewart (Bmx Bandits) & Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub).
