Iury Lech is a multidisciplinary artist of Ukrainian origin but established firstly in America, later in Barcelona and at present in the Empordà (Girona). His creativity includes music, writing or video-creation, always from an innovating and experimental viewpoint. His musical universe is placed over an electronic arsenal built with powerful rhythmic structures, sensual atmospheres and a dense timbric texture that, from his personal contribution to the latest tendencies, and, making use of the new technologies, brings us a sonorous combination based on inflammatory ambient, trance impressionism and hypnotic minimalism.
His records, particularly the double CD "Aspersions By Instinct", always surprise us because of their visionary and unusual atmospheres above the styles in which the music oscillates: tides of synthesizers and ambient sequences, cosmic psychedelics, trance, minimalism... Concerning the live performances, these are based on a multimedia staging that incorporates diverse treatments of image and advances in the interactive technology. Lastly, most of his audio-visual works and videoclips have been selected and have won prizes in festivals like Art Futura, Festival de Video de Navarra, Sonar, Ars Electrónica or ISEA.
Iury Lech is a provoking artist, who offers, with his renewing poetic-sonorous discourse, his most energetic, disconcerting, hypnotic and visionary side. A clearly different point of view in electronics' current scene.

"Futuristic and restless, simultaneously eerie and hypnotic, Iury Lech´s material is hinting at the musical evolution for the next millennium." (THE MIX)

"Aspersions by Instinct gives away seven lush rafts of music that explores darktone soundscapes which fall short on the organic side." (THE WIRE)

"Iury Lech music engages in striking genre bending as ambient mutates into celestial, then ethno with ease. In some ways it recalls the best of the Fax Label, but for my money stands up better as a total work of music art. Stunning all around!" (EUROCK)

"Together with IPD's, the best works in Spanish ambient." (UNDERSOUNDS)

"A real splendid soundtrack of your best nightmares... for you to enjoy them." (ENOFF)
