Ebony-pearl apocalypse: iamyank is an outstanding artist and producer, always has an unexpected turn, from electronica through classical and post-metal to dark cinematic noise-ambient.
The lead instructor at imPro School, he began his career with DJ sets (clubs, VOLT, Balaton Sound, Sziget), remixes (Anima Sound System, Péterfy Bori & The Love Band), and then released his debut EP Cold Summer in 2013, which was characterized by expanding and crossing genre boundaries from the very beginning. This was followed by City of Nobody and the Lost Sounds EP, the latter written for a game that won prestigious international awards.
Hiraeth, his first full length album, was released in 2016, a big milestone in his career. To push it to its boundaries he started to play live with a 3-piece band. They played all major festivals in Hungary and toured in Poland. He composed the anthem of Művészetek Völgye festival with Veronika Harcsa, a world famous jazz singer, also he was asked to compose for a large ensemble on the main stage. This led to playing at the Palace of Arts in Budapest, he shared the stage with Lubomyr Melnyk and recorded a live piano and strings album at CAFe Budapest festival in 2019. He had a song in HBO’s Aranyélet series, composed the end title for HBO’s Besúgó series, and wrote the original score for Cristina Grosan’s Things Worth Weeping For.
2021 had been started with a very unique album ‘Una Notte‘, an improvised piano play form the famous Klavins Piano Manufacture as a farewell from the place. He recorded and released a Live Ensemble album, Sarah in July. At the beginning of 2022, a completely new musical world emerged almost without warning: under the name All Machines Will Fail, this time in a trio with Matyi Mohácsi (bass – Trillion, Grand Mexican Warlock) and Máté Kocsis (drums – Ghostchant, ex-Idoru), they released the album And We, which has a photo by Attila Bartis - a József Attila Award-winning writer and photographer- as the cover
His second full length solo album Láttam a jövőt meghalni had been released in November 2022. It’s heavy and heavenly, with notes of dark cinematic noisy ambient. The live performance embraces two full drum sets with amazing drummers, to make sure the sounds will fill in any venues from corner to corner, and interweaves with intense light show and absorbing visuals. You’ll see the future dying, but we’ll all feel deeply alive. This album had great success at MENT Ljubljana, had several audiovisual performances, e.g. INOTA Festival and soon Vision of Sound London, and soon will be at Budapest Park and Sziget Festival too.
