My goal is to create sonic landscapes that capture the listener and take them to unknown places while building and maintain a secondary (musical) world to keep them immersed and actively engaged within it. Music should be inherently enjoyable to listen to, yet provide enough tension to keep it interesting enough for active listening. I also try to tell an aural story or narrative that blends Electronic Music’s past with its present.

By using real-world environmental samples, I seek to anchor the listener to something that is familiar and immersive. Curiosity compels a deeper level of listening which helps develop, build and sustain the secondary world.

My stronger influences are 70s and 80s electronic and progressive musicians such as Brian Eno, Vangelis, Edger Froese, Klaus Schultze, David Sylvian, Holger Czukay, Popol Vuh and Pink Floyd, as well as more recent artists such as The Orb, Aphex Twin, Future Sound of London, Mathias Grassow, Steven Wilson, Bass Communion, Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. There are unabashed references and homages to these artists and (many more) which is consistent with the post-rock approach to modern music.

I grew up in a home where music was loved and the radio was always on, which gave me early exposure to a variety of genres including jazz, classical, contemporary, pop and rock. Playing musical instruments throughout my early and middle-school years, allowed me to became proficient in several woodwind instruments, the electric bass and manipulation of reel-to-reel tape recordings. The exploration in creating experimental tape effects had a large impact on my current musical expression.

Indigo Symbol began as a side project in 2015 by FTMTE (www.soundcloud.com/ftmte/) frontman Richard Soto. 
Ambient being one of his biggest musical foundations, he felt the need to give it its own identity set apart from his Industrial roots.

Indigo Symbol features expansive melodies, mind opening atmospheres and thought-provoking moods taken from a vast array of influences, ranging from the darkness in space to the drowning depth of the ocean's abyss, the myriad of human emotions and everything in between.

Raw, clinging to the bone with touch of industrial rust. Under the Kostistlac moniker, the Slovakian based anonymous producer manages to craft zeitgeist-informed sound while bringing back the best elements of 90's Tresor-weight techno without ever sounding archaic. Carefully crafted yet straight pounding machinedrum patterns cycle around near-metalic high-hats occasionally opening its doors to eerie sonic artefacts and micro glitches paned as if going straight through ones neuro-systems.

Hey, I'm David. I like to make music, thanks for stopping by!
