PERSONAL REFERENCES

Iury Lech is an independent and multifaceted central european artist that after living in America settled first in Barcelona (Spain) and then at the catalan countryside.

His open and unclassifiable style permeates the tired dance and advanced music concept, by means of an electronic arsenal build on overwhelming rhythmic structures, apocalyptical atmospheres and a dense sonic texture that brings alive a contrasted compound based on inflammatory jazz-hardcore, hypnotic ambients, gotic minimalism and experimentalism.

He has explored jointly electronic composition, experimental video and literary creation,an aesthetical search from which he developed his innovative approach to multivalent art.

His live perfomances involves a multimedia stage set which, in addition to different image treatments, makes the most of interactive and sensorial immersion technology.

He perfomed at the first edition of Sonar in Barcelona; at the Festival of New Musics of Madrid and Sevilla; at the Mercat de Música Viva (Vic); at the experimental cycle LEM produced by Gràcia Territori Sonor (Barcelona); in the Auditori de la Mercè (Girona) ; at La Cova de la Font Major and the Fields of Mars (Tarragona); at the Knitting Factory (New York), or at next Festival Experimenta (Madrid) and the First International Festival Electroshock (St.Petersburg). His audiovisual works have been selected for festivals as Art Futura, Festival de Video de Navarra,Sonar,Ars Electrónica or ISEA.

His musical universe, a rich combination between impressionist, minimalist and ambient culture, adventures through the waters that captures the principle of simultaneity, with the purpouse of draining music of its contents and recompone the results in a acoustic cluster dominated by progressive structures based principally on timbre, texture, informatic signals and overwhelming athmospheres that impulse brightness to come out from opressive sounds like back-lighted pictures.

Iury Lech is a provocative artist that shows an energetic,visionary and bewildering discourse that continues a restless search.
