International touring singer-songwriter signed to Sower Records

'wether ritualized or not, art contains the rationality of negation. in its advanced positions, it is the great refusal- the protest against that which is. the modes in which man and things are made to appear, to sing and sound and speak, are modes of refuting, breaking and recreating their factual existence. but these modes of negation pay tribute to the antagonistic society to which they are linked. separated from the sphere of labor where society reproduces itself and its misery, the world of art which they create remains, with all its truth, a privilege and an illusion.'
herbert marcuse

"I was once an actor / and I played my part so well / that I forgot my own name / where I'd come from and who I'd held / I was dancing with angels / by a river in hell / and when I looked from the bank at my reflection...  I saw the devil".

I paint movies in my mind; then I give them a soundtrack.

Tiff Ku here. Well, I've officially jumped on the SoundCloud bandwagon.

How to introduce myself: well, given that I'm currently hermiting in my studio cave, I think it's best to put this off until later.

However, what I can say, is that I work mainly with experimental media: do check out my webPortfolio (http://tkmedia.eyemagnetmedia.com) to get a sampling of my body of work.

Photography, Graphic Design, and Film aside, this website is mainly for sharing Music, so I'll just keep it simple: I'm an avant-garde, experimental artist who likes to work independently on my own, mainly self-taught, through explorations of cosmic blue skies and birds, to falls into supernatural astral travels through hell, going through that "Eureka!" moment depicted very well in that Christopher Nolan short film that you can find on YouTube, to feeling numb and dead to the world and hibernating in the oven - I work with indie-rock, post-hardcore, post-rock, math-rock, folk, and midi-related baroque music. Instruments? Mainly guitar with a lot of effects, but also bass, drums, and the midi-keyboard. I did buy a cheap $20 horn off the street while travelling through India in 2012, but I can't do much with it besides sound like I'm playing at a funeral and nurse my popped-out eyeballs afterwards. However, midi patches do a good job at emulating the sound so that I can write while wearing headphones without getting evicted from my house. I will find a deserted field in the mountains someday to properly learn how to play the thing, sooner or later - this I promise to myself. :)

Hidden Element is electronic act from Kyiv, Ukraine. By blending elements of breakbeat, techno and ambient, producer Igor Kirilenko creates forward-thinking music with shifty rhythms, cinematic samples and deep textures. Inspired by classic sci-fi movies, it’s a perfect soundtrack both for crowded ecstatic club nights and solitary mind-wandering.

Igor began releasing tracks as Hidden Element in 2011, firstly as a duo with Nil Tarasov, and now as a solo project. Over the years he released music on various labels including Med School, Pinecone Moonshine, Alphacut, Silent Season, YUKU. 

Project’s track “I See The Light” (feat. Kiyomi Yamashita) was noted by DJ Mag as “Track of the Month”. Track “Reload, Replay” was played by Steve Lamacq on BBC1Xtra. Debut LP “Together” released on Absys Records in 2016 received a number of positive reviews and warm feedback from El Hornet (Pendulum), Ulrich Schnauss and other producers. 

Hidden Element also created official remixes for a variety of artists, from British drum’n’bass legend London Elektricity to Ukrainian pop-singer and Eurovision winner Jamala.

In 2020–2021 Hidden Element manifested a new ambitious chapter with EP trilogy “Comparisons” / “Kontinuum” / “Cycles”. Packed with intense contemporary breakbeat and seasoned with high class remixes from Throwing Snow, Andre Bratten, Prayer, Cocktail Party Effect, these EPs earned praise from Mixmag Japan, Mixmag UK, Mixmag Brazil, BARKS, Qetic, Inverted Audio etc. A bunch of tracks from the trilogy was also aired on BBC Radio 1 in numerous guest mixes.
