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 open source software often related - but not restricted - to audio and image processing.

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. There might be a helpful utility here and there too, though.
Igor also "writes and sings songs" (though none of the coffee house-friendly-type) under several monikers. Under the pseudonym Drosophelia, Igor composes and produces music using handmade instruments and audio processing tools, the latter also shared here for public use.

Whether presented as online applications, downloadable software, streaming media, open source repositories or wordy case pages documenting legacy projects...

this is a portfolio of 20+ years of igorski projects.

Phlegetron is a multi-distortion effect that works across dual bands, with the bands either separated by a crossover filter or split into separate harmonic "bins".

By adjusting the frequency of the split, you can emphasize different harmonic frequencies and carefully tune the effect to target a deliciously nasty zone inside your mix.

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.

Like all Drosophelia releases, the albums production process employed utilities created bef...

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 ...

Efflux

Web based music maker

Efflux is a Progressive Web Application allowing you to create music within your browser, either on- or offline on anything from a phone to desktop computer.

Efflux uses both a tracker*-type approach as well as a more intuitive graphical UI to create patterns. Separate patterns have independent timelines; a complete song t...

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...

Delirion

Multiband doppler effect plugin

Delirion is in essence a Doppler shifter that works across three different frequency bands. Each band can work across multiple channels, allowing you to tweak the input signal to something reminiscent of a fever dream.

All of Delirions parameters can be automated for maximum control and flexibility.

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...
