Anthony Malka

A French-keyboardist, composer and educator based in Neukölln since 2007 and who created the musical persona Le Commandant Couche‑Tôt to explore a visually-inflected, groove-laden sonic world. Rooted in the French keyboard tradition of artists like Chassol and General Elektriks, and inspired by cinematic composers such as François de Roubaix and Serge Gainsbourg, Malka weaves together funk, disco, Brazilian rhythms and dreamy textures in his music. Under the Le Commandant Couche-Tôt alias, Anthony crafts immersive tracks each paired with a visual universe evocative of filmmakers like Wes Anderson and Terry Gilliam, creating a distinctive blend of sound and image.

His toured Europe with his former band and released songs that have been aired worldwide on major Radio stations.

In short, Anthony Malka is a multi-talented musician whose alter-ego offers a rich fusion of keyboard virtuosity, rhythmic exploration and visual storytelling.
