I have been making electronic music since 1998. Having picked Moonscape as my first pseudonym, I started with tracker music. Back then I was taking samples from whatever sources available, be it movies, cartoons, computer games, sounds of different objects and environments, or my own recordings, and composed pretty random and unruly sampladelic music.
Gradually I became interested in glitch and ways to generate and modify sounds with various digital instruments. It was the period of clicking beats, split-second-long bleeps and quirky textures. The result of these experiments was my debut album which I released on my good friends' label 56 Stuff in 2006. While being overall satisfied with this outcome, I began to think that my heart lies towards sample-based rather than synthesized sound after all. At the same time I came to conclusion that aside from solving immediate technical tasks I should introduce some sort of a concept to my music. I was also getting weary of the Moonscape moniker.
After a period of contemplation I changed my name to Idiosync and began exploring rich yet abandoned Soviet musical heritage, getting inspiration and occasional loops from everything from pre-WWII military marches to 70’s Kyrgyz disco. Since no one has come up yet with a way to make contemporary art without resampling existing pieces I decided to at least use a source I have a personal connection to. The idea was to combine my interpretation of present-day music with sounds of the now defunct ethnic group of Soviet people, to which I originally belonged, in a way similar to how musicians around the world mix their native music with multiple derivatives of rhythm and blues, jazz and other popular Western genres.
For several years I was putting together a library of sounds and now making tracks for my new album. Occasionally I play and record mixes of my favorite music. While I'm not pursuing any particular sound, I have a number of ideas that I want to transmit through my work. They may appear quite subtle, but I leave interpretation to you.
