@PlanetRobotI’m an experimental electronic music artist working with ambient, chilled, downtempo, and abstract sounds. My journey started as a teenager when I first heard Jean-Michel Jarre’s Oxygene. That record completely hooked me, and I’ve been lost in electronic music ever since.I became obsessed with futuristic and strange sounds, spending years experimenting with synthesizers, drum machines, and sequencers. I even built my own simple electronic instruments and computer-controlled devices in my bedroom.In my early twenties I started releasing my own music, creating atmospheric, dreamlike tracks that sit somewhere between calming and slightly unsettling. I draw influence from the eerie electronic experiments of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, as well as pioneers like Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, and Jean-Michel Jarre. I also connect with more recent artists such as Jon Hopkins, Tycho, and Ólafur Arnalds.Over the years I’ve gradually moved away from hardware and now work almost entirely in the box with virtual synths and effects, though I still enjoy exploring weird, obscure textures and unexpected sonic territories.
