Sound designer / Film composer / Art direction

Igor Dyachenko is an experimental sound artist, film composer, sound designer, and radio host, currently based in Berlin, Germany

Born in the south of Russia in 1988, Igor, known as an electronic musician, took a transformative path in his education. Initially, he studied to become a lawyer and later graduated from Sound Artist University with a degree in Experimental Sound and Multimedia Technology in Moscow.

Conceptualizing his sound practice, one can identify the notion of ‘melted reality’, where ambient sound, in constant flux, takes on a hybrid form of physical and abstract medium, interacting with the listener and their environment. Igor’s approach to extracting frequencies from diverse sources and shaping them is evident in his work with textured sound, spatial perception, form, and countless layers of events and textures.

In addition to creating albums and performances, Igor has launched the Epic Room sound design studio, where he develops generative sound systems for architecture, collaborates with fashion brands and multimedia artists, contributes to soundtracks and sound design for movies and exhibitions, and hosts the Peripherie show on radio.syg.ma.

His project list includes collaborations with Nickelodeon, Salomon, Heliot Emil, Mercedes Benz, Qatar Airlines, and others. His sound has graced films featured in international film festivals and galleries such as The Calvert Journal Film Festival 2021 (Amsterdam), Les Rencontres d’Arles (Paris), Studio Voltaire (London), and Garage Museum (Moscow). His work encompasses a variety of projects exploring and immersing audiences in sonic landscapes, with a focus on deep listening.
