Igor Dyachenko is an experimental sound artist, composer, and sound designer working at the intersection of ambient music, sound art, and spatial sonic research. He approaches sound not as a fixed object, but as a mutable state — a material capable of dissolving boundaries between environment, perception, and memory.

Born in 1988 in southern Russia, Dyachenko initially studied law before transitioning to the academic study of experimental sound and multimedia technologies in Moscow. This shift shaped his research-driven approach, where listening functions as an active and transformative process rather than passive consumption.

At the core of his practice lies the concept of “melted reality” — a sonic condition where ambient music unfolds as a continuous, fluid field, oscillating between physical presence and abstraction. This approach manifests both in long-form album releases and in site-specific installations, performances, and audiovisual works. His recorded output explores sonic spaces, lowercase, and microsound practices, often built from field recordings, modular synthesis, digital artefacts, data streams, and residual noise.

Alongside his artistic practice, Igor Dyachenko founded Epic Room, a studio specializing in sound design, soundtracks, architectural sonic environments, and interdisciplinary collaborations across film, fashion, and exhibitions. Epic Room projects includes collaborations with international brands such as Nickelodeon, Salomon, Heliot Emil, fffPostalService, Mercedes-Benz, and more. He is also the author and curator of the radio programme Peripherie on radio.syg.ma, extending his research into peripheral scenes and emerging sonic narratives.

His personal sound installations and works have accompanied films and audiovisual projects presented at international festivals, galleries, and institutions including The Calvert Journal Film Festival (Amsterdam), Les Rencontres d’Arles (Paris), Studio Voltaire (London), Garage Museum (Moscow), GES-2 (Moscow), Berlin Museum Kesselhaus Herzberg (Berlin), OMA/AMO (Netherlands), and Doha Museums (Qatar), as well as radio platforms and curated formats such as NTS Radio (UK), radio.syg.ma, and Appendix.files (Berlin).
