Satellite 484 is an independent psychedelic electronic duo from Evesham, UK, formed by Cherie A. Pinto and Paul J. M. Pinto. Since 2010, the band has released eight studio albums, one compilation, and produced over 63 immersive music videos that dive deep into the realms of sound and surrealism.
Fusing synthesizers, samplers, drum machines, guitars, and diverse percussion instruments, Satellite 484 crafts rich, experimental soundscapes that defy convention and embrace the beautiful chaos of electronic noise.
Driven by a deep love for sonic exploration, they create music not for the stage, but for the studio—where analogue gear and spontaneous creativity come alive.
Currently working on new material, Satellite 484 continues to expand their universe. Release dates coming soon.
