Drosophelia

Drosophelia is the moniker under which Amsterdam-based Igor Zinken releases personal material, presented as dark electronic paintings, inspired by low fidelity equipment and pop culture of decades past. While the use of electronics, algorithmic composition and custom built audio processing is ubiquitous, the music remains deeply rooted in organic sounds and instruments, always expressing a human element of anger, paranoia or chaos. The results paint a world in which memory, decay and industrialist tones meet science fiction; a eulogy for the what-has-been and that what-will-never-come-to-be. The Drosophelia releases are published in trilogies, each containing EP, full-length album and single, thematically linked, though often by a schizophrenic narrative through the shifting stylistic expressions of the composer.
