Krovo is an abstract musical project of kvn dyn. He is very interested in creating a continually evolving and shifting sound - often the parts of the music sound slightly different each time they occur. Krovo’s songs can often sound messy and random because structure is buried under a plethora of effects, LFOs, and random variables. This can be partially attributed to a fascination with nature, which might seem completely arbitrary to those who choose not to understand the order and purpose behind it all.
Krovo has released two albums and three EPs thus far.
Skk - debut album, psychedelic rhythmic noise.
Noiser - first EP, harsher, more abstract sounds.
Find - second EP, much more conventional rhythmic electronica.
Senkyder - second album, dense rhythmic noise and poppier tunes.
Oktrans - third EP, autumn-inspired textures and melodies.
Krovo has also made a total of three remixes for other artists, as well as various ringtones.
All of Krovo’s music is available for free download online, and will most likely remain that way. Krovo releases music through the netlabel K-PDT, and the official website is located at http://k-pdt.net/krovo/

Why this name?
K is my favorite letter. Krovo sounded good and it wasn't taken.
Do you play live?
Nowadays, all my songs are recorded from live performance in the studio.. This basically means that it's all played by hand and there isn't any MIDI data involved. As for the playing-in-front-of-an-audience thing, I've performed an as-of-now unreleased song called Senkyder just recently. It was recorded and it's available on YouTube here.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Music is art. Real art pushes the boundaries and does new things, which isn't very profitable. Music shouldn't be about profit - it should be about self-expression and doing what you want to do. The internet helps real music and fans of real music to come together in ways that were never possible before. It's mostly positive. But unfortunately, the internet makes music so easy to acquire that it has decreased the value of it somewhat. Nowadays people will download whole albums, listen to them once, and forget about them. That was unheard of back when the only way to get music was to actually go to a record store and buy it.
Your influences?
Krovo’s musical influences include glitch, noise, hip-hop, industrial, breakcore, punk, math, and video games. Krovo’s abstract and non-musical influences include love, autumn, evolution, chaos, nature, and the sense of vision. All of these inspirations can be heard in Krovo’s sound. For example, sounds are often made in attempts to create audio versions of visual things - a texture within a song might be an attempt to make the sound of what the ground looks like.
Favorite spot?
Chicago, Madison, and Minneapolis are all amazing cities for their architecture and culture, but I also really love the quiet natural areas where you are surrounded by the organic world.. I am heavily inspired by both the human structure of the cities and the natural structure of rural and unexplored areas.
Equipment used:
The sounds are produced in a variety of ways - usually digitally but not always on computers. For software, FL Studio, Audacity, LMMS, MilkyTracker, and Pd have all been used at some point. Hardware used by Krovo includes: Alesis Micron, Roland SP-404, mics, effects pedals, amp, tape player, circuit-bent toys, and the occasional guitar.
