About igorski

Amsterdam-based Igor Zinken (1981, the Netherlands) operates under the moniker 'igorski' towards creative use of technology, composition of music and development of software often related - but not restricted - to audio. There might be a helpful utility here and there too.

While technology is great for making life easier, knowing how to make things do stuff they perhaps weren't designed to do, makes things a lot more interesting! Or at least fun.
Igor also writes and sings songs, though not of the coffee house-friendly-type. Under the pseudonyms Drosophelia and ゴアクロウ, Igor composes and produces music using handmade instruments and audio processing tools, the latter also shared here for public use.

Delirion is a chorus / detune plugin that harnesses the Doppler effect to create a dream-like landscape where the gradual detuning pushes you further and further down on your descent into a sonic nightmare.

Operating across multiple audio channels and frequency bands, the plugin allows you to carefully tune the harmonic content of each band, sculp...

Fourteen track LP released August 20th, 2025.

Four years in the making, "Gyne" marks the third Drosophelia album. Fourteen dark collages featuring electronic, digital and acoustic ambiances which present the rise and downfall of... some undisclosed entity.

As before, the record employs utilities written before or during the writing process:

Video performance wall

The danger faced when being in an electronic combo unable to reproduce all audio tracks live, is to become uninteresting to look at when standing on stage, hidden behind a computer screen.

As such, for the Firefly Makani-project a system had been developed that allowed the performers to both manipulate audio and synchronize these changes visually ...

BitMappery

Web based image editor

Photoshop ? Flattering, but it's not quite the same. BitMappery does however allow you to import photos (and Photoshop files), draw images, apply transformations, create freeform selections, tweak filters and mask content in a non-destructive manner.

It has some overlap in functionality but is definitely a more simple ...

WebSID

Commodore 64 synthesizer

Having been tempted to test the WebAudio API's capabilities beyond the initial WebAudio experiment, this experiment builds upon parts of the audio engine created for MikroWave by porting the C++ code to JavaScript so it can run inside a web browser.

A very peculiar synth...

Rather than (re)creating a "modern" syn...

Rechoir

Tempo synced harmony delay

Rechoir is a delay effect where all the echoes can either harmonize with the source signal or be pitch shifted manually.

Harmonic changes can be synced to the tempo and time signature of your sequencer, keeping both the echoes as well as their pitch modulations strictly timed to your composition.

All of Rechoirs parameters ...

HomeCorrupter

Fidelity reduction plugin

HomeCorrupter provides an effect that harks back to a period in which computers weren't actually that good at handling audio.

The plugin can degrade the resolution of any incoming audio signal by reducing the sampling rate and bit depth. Further lo-fi quality is achieved by reducing the "computers clock speed" which slows dow...

Darvaza

Tempo synced gating plugin

Darvaza is a multichannel gate with a twist : whenever the gate closes on your input signal, you get a perversion of your source spat back at you. It can however work as a time synchronized classic tremolo too.

The gate uses different waveforms and its individually tunable oscillators are synchronized to the host tempo and ti...
