Socratus
Socratus is a Russian electronic music producer and composer known for his complex, glitchy soundscapes blending IDM, glitch hop, and experimental electronica.
Active since the mid-2000s, Socratus emerged from Moscow's underground electronic scene. He gained recognition for intricate, rhythmically complex tracks often released on labels like 'Стой! Кто Идёт?'. His work is characterized by detailed sound design, unconventional time signatures, and a fusion of synthetic and organic textures. He remains an active figure in the experimental electronic music sphere.
- His stage name 'Socratus' is a clear reference to the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, suggesting an intellectual approach to his sound design and composition.
- Despite his significant output and influence within niche electronic circles, Socratus maintains a relatively low public profile, focusing on his music rather than personal publicity.
- Some critics and listeners perceive psychedelic or mind-altering qualities in the dense, evolving structures of his music, though Socratus himself rarely discusses such interpretations publicly.
