Based out in Hong Kong, Ink Element collates lifelong experiences through music reliant on analogue synths. Taking heed of classic-era house and electronic greats, the project creates deeply layered, digital stories that reflect my life as a European living in the East. I combine that work as a musician with that of a teacher, as I lead production masterclasses, representing tech giant Arturia in the process. For live performances, Ink Element turns into a collective of international musicians from Hong Kong and Korea, extending the songs with analog sounds and alternative versions. The first single, ROTTEN UNDERGROUND, was released in October 2022 and curated on hundreds of Spotify playlists, web radios, and Instagram channels (mostly in Americas). Milleville Music, label famous for Black Box's banger Ride on Time, has signed Ink Element, also approved as an artist on Public Pressure Web3 platform. A first album, ISLANDS, will be released in May 2023, with two singles made available on the main streaming platforms, LOVE IS AN ART in February and INKY KINKY BABE in April. A second LP, TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES, will follow shortly, with tracks available on Public Pressure. Along with DJing under the alias MILK ELEMENT (ex-FAT BURYAT), and his work as an as author — having released nine books to date, one of which Ukraine 20 Years was released back in 2011 — my capacity for sophisticated and deep storytelling is what sets me aside as an artist and person in our large and complex society.
