Artist Biography For Krovo

Krovo Is The Main Music Project Of Modula T. Worm. Krovo's Style Changes With Each Release But Constants Include An Emphasis On Creating New Rhythms And Textures A Heavy Use Of Phase- And Frequency-Modulation Synthesis And A Balance Between Composition And Improvisation. Krovo's Music Has A Wide Range Which Can Be Only Partially Described By Rigid Genres Or Standard Electronic Music Ideas. One Of The Main Goals Of The Project Is To Create A Unique Sound That Can Stand On Its Own Free Of Musical Clichés. Complete Success Is Impossible Of Course But It's Still Fun To Try. Some Of Krovo's Influences Include Punk Music Like DNA Glitch Artists Such As Ryoji Ikeda Electroacoustic Improv Groups Like AMM Electronic Musicians Like Autechre As Well As Many Other Artists Who Have Paved Their Own Path Rather Than Following The Worn-Out Trails SND Muslimgauze Burning Star Core Skinny Puppy Black Dice DJ QBert La Peste And Many Others. Krovo Also Takes Influence From Its Independent Peers Such As Artists Like Razxca MushroomWavved Collar That Horrible Red Ruler YAWE6Gletshn DJ Funny Powers StAllio! Live Coding Pioneers Such As Slub Nebogeo And Yaxu And Most If Not All Of The Artists Who Have Contributed To The Glitch City Netlabel. Philosophically Krovo Is Heavily Influenced By Ideas That Expand The Definition Of Music Such As Musique Concrete Synaesthesia Sonification And Others. The Season Of Autumn Scientific Concepts Such As Physics And Evolution The Unintentional Jazz Of Video Game Sound Effects Visual Imagery And Ideas From Software Have Also Played A Role In The Musical Development Of The Project. The Sounds Are Produced In A Variety Of Ways - Usually Digitally But Not Always On Computers. Software-Wise FL Studio And MilkyTracker Have Been Used But Nowadays The Primary Tools Are LMMS Audacity For Recording As Well As Actual Production Of Sounds Pure Data SuperCollider And Various Other Smaller Tools And Toys. On The Hardware Side A Roland SP-404 And Korg Mini-KP Have Been Part Of The Kit But The Current Setup Consists Of An Alesis Micron A Korg Mini-KP 2 A Teenage Engineering OP-1 A Laptop Among Other Instruments And Noisemakers. Although Many Of These Tools Come With Presets Many Of The Current Preferences Are Chosen Because Of Their Openness And Creative Potential Audacity Pure Data And SuperCollider Allow For Effects Synthesizers And Sequencers To Be Written Entirely From Scratch Unbound By Standard Templates Or Workflows Tailored To Conventional Electronic Music.
