Igor Dyachenko - Objects (2022)

"Sometimes terms like "music producer" fail to fully describe the dedication and immersion of a musician. Igor is in this group. Defining him as an "ambient" producer creates a more superficial feeling and takes away from the essence of the scientific approach to which he corresponds in his work with sound. Igor's method of extracting frequencies from diverse sources and giving them a desired shape is manifested in his work here with textured sound, with distance, form, and perception, and is expressed in countless layering of events, textures and forms.

With ‘Objects’, Igor works with sounds, textures, and details that are not the primary focus of a musician, experimental frequencies deemed defects, or elements necessary only as a means to reach a goal. As a rule, these are thrown away, remaining an unused byproduct. The contrary practice of paying attention to all these elements, as they occur in the process of experiments, yields Igor’s materials for the album. Collected in extended sessions, these artifacts are reworked and molded into compositions that retain the essence of the original sounds.

By attentively listening, and carefully recycling these forgotten sounds, ‘Objects’ plays with important concepts in modern electronic music, limiting conscious choice and working to alchemically forge gold from minerals widely discarded. It is a work with space and time, with metaphysical changes and artifacts that dim into great fathoms below the surface." - Freddie Hudson
