Iks
More actions
Iks is a Rossan musical act from Buglio who pioneered the Western electronic genre.
Music
While the group practices the Calda style which has become popular in the Buglian music scene, they are most famous for their use of spliced audio film to create soundscapes which serve as the soundscape to many of their tracks, including not only traditional instrumentation but spliced vocals and radio recordings as part of the melody. When performing live, the band uses their recording machine (Nicknamed "Giocatrice" and treated as their sixth member) to reproduce their backing tracks trough a speaker.
Members
The band consists of five anonymous musicians in costumes that tend to hide their faces completely or almost completely. The band's anonymity has been one of their biggest advantages when it comes to promoting themselves, with the added mystique of stage names simply describing their role in the act;
- Bassist "Bassista"
- Flautist "Flautist"
- Guitarist "Chitarrista"
- Percussionist "Batterista"
- Singer "Cantante"
The only other things that can be gauged of the members is their Kalami origin and identity as immigrants (a central point of their discography) and the genders of the members all being male, except for the allegedly female guitarist, but it's hard to gauge due to the stage costume's purposeful androgyny.
