Over the last few years, Ambidextrous has been working mostly on ambient or ambient techno music, but IDM has always been his “first language”, so making this record was like a comeback to home grounds, a fun and easy journey. It started in early 2016 with two or three tracks that became a key part of his live show but soon a brief experiment evolved into a full-length record. Adding more beats to sound texture was a good opportunity to play around with odd time signatures. Nick was also trying to put together digital glitchy IDM sound and the 70s space/sci-fi feel. The ideas of science, technology, and progress (or “научно-технический прогресс” in Russian) were highly motivating for Nick as a child, and electronic music (a frequent soundtrack for movies or educational TV programs in late USSR) was a perfect implementation of this concept.
