The band, which delves into experimental and electronic vocal music, draws inspiration from the traditions and mysticism of the Tannu Tuva region, as well as the rich cultural heritage of the Balkans, acting as a bridge between ancient and modern soundscapes. This collective explores the liminal spaces between past and future, merging traditional experimental vocal techniques with modern electronic&acoustic instruments and experimental sounds.
Their music creates a unique atmosphere where the organic sounds of nature, such as the wind from the high plains of Tuva and the melancholic motifs of Balkan villages, blend into complex electronic compositions. Electronics are not merely tools but extensions of vocal techniques that the singers and performers use to craft a hypnotic, transcendental experience for the audience. Their performances are often enhanced by improvisation, giving an impression of unpredictability, yet always deeply connected to emotional and spiritual space.
The inspiration from Tuva comes from its fascinating sonic heritage, where sound holds symbolic significance tied to nature and the spiritual world. Throat singing, one of the fundamental elements this band employs, symbolizes a connection to the roots of the earth and the spirituality of ancestors. On the other hand, Balkan influences are evident through unusual metric patterns, emotional melodies, and an unfettered avant-garde spirit, drawing strength from the rebellious energy of the punk movement.
With their sound, the band revives the cultural, avant-garde punk spirit, breaking down the boundaries between musical genres and aesthetic norms. Eschewing classical song structures, they often create soundscapes that invite contemplation, questioning reality, and emotional journeys. Their concerts are performances in their own right—multimedia events that include visual arts, performance elements, and audience interaction, offering a new experience every time.
At its core, this band bridges the old and the new, using modern technology to explore ancient themes and mythologies. Their avant-garde approach allows them to freely experiment with different styles and forms, while their punk ideology drives them to continuously challenge conventions, making them one of the most intriguing voices on the contemporary music scene.

"For in the Beginning there was naught but Formless Darkness, and in the Darkness, Magneticity, which moved the atoms, and whirling atom struck atom, and Current was thus created, and the First Light… from which the stars were kindled, and then the planets cooled, and in their cores the breath of Sacred Statisticality gave rise to microscopic Protomecha-noans, which begat Proteromechanoids, which begat the Primitive Mechanisms. These could not yet calculate, nor scarcely put two and two together, but thanks to Evolution and Natural Subtraction they soon multiplied and produced Omnistats, which gave birth to the Servostat, the Missing Clink, and from it came our progenitor, Automatus Sapiens…
