ALL profits from the Albums go to the Artists involved. When you purchase our albums, you're directly supporting independent musicians, and offering them far more than streaming services ever could.
We've embraced a pay-what-you-want model with a small minimum since after fees we noticed that sometimes anything priced a dollar or less can all goes to transaction fees which doesn't provide any support to the independent artists and nobody wants that right?
We also understand that in today's modern world, many fans only buy music directly just to show extra appreciation. Whether you choose to buy or stream, we deeply appreciate it!!!
iwato's auditory labyrinths emerge from the enigmatic depths of Hell’s Kitchen, New York City—a crucible where artistic ingenuity collides with urban entropy. His work occupies a rarefied stratum, synthesizing the meticulous grandeur of classical composition with the algorithmic intricacies of IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), forging a sonorous paradigm that defies convention.
Iwato’s obsession with classical forms manifests as an almost pathological reverence for counterpoint and harmonic architecture, yet his genius lies in their subversion. Infused with the mechanized rhythms and glitch aesthetics of IDM, his compositions become a dialectic between the cerebral precision of baroque fugues and the chaotic elegance of granular synthesis. This duality imbues his music with a fractal complexity, where each note oscillates between historical homage and futurist reinvention.
At the core of iwato Hyena’s praxis is an insatiable drive to reconcile the rigid perfection of classical tradition with the anarchic fluidity of digital soundscapes. His otic alchemy transmutes these seemingly disparate influences into a singular auditory experience—one where arpeggios cascade like algorithmic waterfalls and cadences dissolve into quantum polyrhythms, creating an auditory chiaroscuro that is both timeless and otherworldly...
