Personal projects: records and live shows as Bademjan

I've been releasing music and performing live shows under the moniker Bademjan since 2019.

Plumage

7-track album

Dense, epic ambient on the edge of doom metal.
Electric upright bass stretched into drones,
merged with field recordings and artificial bird calls.

4-track EP

A retrofuturistic take on deconstructed club.
Heavily processed analog synths and drums,
mixed with lyrical synthetic vocals.

Dioramas (ft. Griigg)

Synthetic recreation of natural landscapes,
composed with modular synthesizers,
during time-constrained improv sessions.

Sound pack & 14-track compilation

I designed a palette of 25 sampled instruments after the sound of early video games, and 14 artists from the CLMxGUN ↗ community used it to score an imaginary game soundtrack.

The palette was also released as a sound pack.

14-track compilation · cassette

A power ambient compilation, released on digital and cassette.
I curated it, worked with each artist on their track and mastered it.
I also made one track and collaborated on three others.

Bademjan’s current live set is built around the electric upright bass as its main source:
drones, abrasive layers and ethereal harmonics,
shaped through live processing and spatialization.
