Amsterdam-based Igor Zinken (1981, the Netherlands) veers, under the moniker 'igorski', towards creative use of technology, composing music / sound design and developing music-related software, all while singing along loudly to music behind a standing desk.

Apart from writing usable applications, there are several contributions to the open source community, many of which are listed on this website. While technology is great for making life easier, knowing how to make things do stuff they perhaps weren't designed to do, makes life a lot more interesting!

Or at least fun.

Having been musically active for two decades, my activies ranged from stints in ridiculous two-day punk outfits to being responsible for anything from playing mandolin parts to writing synthesizer lines on a GameBoy.

Together with a passion for creating self-generating visual art, aforementioned activities culminated in the lo-fi "art-noise" of Firefly Makani (w/releases on Antilounge Records and Toztizok Zounds).

Besides creating dark electronic soundscapes, there is also an outlet for more positive material with a retro-tinged 70's AM radio flavour, operating under the name The Type Three Civilization.
