I am a guy from Yugoslavia who dwelves into sonic experimentation and avant-garde electronica.
Why this name?
IKO is my nickname in Yugoslavia (it is short for Ivan)
Do you play live?
I play in Reading, UK, where I also live. I have not played live many times, but so far all most of the feedback has been positive.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
For the big stars I don't think it really changes a lot. However, when it involves bands signed onto indie labels then, in my opinion, that makes a difference.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, as it would help me reach out to more and more people across the world.
Band History:
'IKO' has been a part of me for a year and a half now, and I feel I am improving more and more with each song. Other projects include 'SHELLSHÓCK', which is a digital hardcore project with my friend burningliquid, and the other project is 'your arch enemy', atmospheric ambience/noise.
Your influences?
I like bands like Weezer, Nirvana, anything related to Mike Patton, Sigur Rós, Godspeed You Black Emperor! and other post rock bands. However, my music does not sound like these bands, I am influenced by Boards of Canada, Venetian Snares, Aphex Twin and (electronic) Sigur Rós in that department.
Favorite spot?
Probably Cologne, in Germany, where I used to live. There's a beautiful cathedral there and a buzzing atmosphere.
Equipment used:
Acid 4.0 Pro, Cubase 4.0, Sound Forge 6.0, Wavelab 3.0, Fruity Loops 3.0, Orange Vocoder 2.0, Battery, chinese chopsticks, biscuit tins.
Anything else...?
I hope you enjoy my music. All my songs vary, ranging from drum'n'bass to ambient to noise to classical. Therefore I hope you find a song you like!
