Heinali Iridescent

Heinali is the alias of self-taught composer and sound-designer Oleg Shpudeiko
from Ukraine. Having garnered rapturous responses to his earlier output and last
year's `Anthem' Oleg continues to push the boundaries and experiment with
altering mood and atmospheres of any space - with abstract yet deeply personal
transmissions of ambient synthesiser work and subaqueous, minimal techno
contortions. `Iridescent' consists of fragments of studio improvisation sessions
recorded in 2016 and 2017, some of them recorded in one unedited take on a
modular system and some layered and later morphed into compositions. Iridescent'
bares Oleg's style of sonic storytelling and austere, otherworldly textural
embellishments that bring to mind Ben Frost, Akira Yamaoka, and Oneohtrix Point
Never but also plants the seed for much more club ready electro. `Starling Reprise
I' is a scorching piece of ambient techno that conjures Four Tet, LTO and Susumu
Yokota's blissful, kaleidoscopic synth work whilst `Starling Reprise II' retains the
frosty, steely ambience that has become Heinali's calling card.
