yvat has released his first production, “Concert for Violin and Analog Orchestra”, on the label Experimental Seafood Records/ Birmingham, UK, 2004. The album received positive reviews and parts of it were played during John Peel’s Show and on Mixing It show broadcasted by BBC Radio 3.

A series of another 3 albums followed on the Analog Orchestra cycle, being released under the same label: “Analog Orchestra”, “yv1 – fill ins interlude” and “yv2 – mix live concert”.

Together with Justin Wiggan from “dotb” and “geography of nowhere”, a new project “robotii nu se pot ruga” (robots can´t pray) was found and four different releases appeared under this name: “Camera Comuna” (common chamber), “Light Aversion”, "weird white feathers fall all across the country’’ - produced also by Experimental Seafood Records, and “20th Century Fake Book” - produced by UAVTAPE U.K.

One of the tracks from “Camera Comuna”, namely “flori crescand, mere muscate” (flowers grown, apple bite) presented Experimental Seafood Records on the “Supersonic Treats From the City of Birmingham”, released by Capsule as an overview of their participation at SONAR, Barcelona/ ES in 2004.

Other three projects have been released under SubliminalTapeClub from Belgium “Geophone”, “Amusia” and “Blue Cones”. These are the results of a track change in yvat’s creative approach, by embracing more electronic tendencies.
A multimedia project, combining yvat’s characteristic sounds and raw videos, made by the Romanian art designers Alexe Popescu and Paul Dersidan, results through the two DVD´s  “yvat & cut raw videos” and “folium”, released by La Strada Music/ Romania.

A different approach, adding melodic hues to the former geometrical sound concluded to a new release “Cyma” on the label Cactus Island Recordings, U.K. The same label included one of yvat’s songs on the compilation “Brittle Behaviour”.
Another album released in 2006 is “Oar”, produced by Minor Label from Germany, an art project combining his music with animation films. The product has a powerful visual impact by using unconventional materials and packaging techniques. On the same label appeared a compilation including the track “Violet” of this production.

Mixing together Martine Viard’s astonishing voice from George Aperghis’s “Récitations” (1978) and yvat’s electronic textures, the release “Phonema” creates a well built acoustic experience. The album has been produced by La Strada Music/ Romania.

±G6PD Records from Israel produced “Chroma” in 2006, an album presenting a new approach, much compliant with technical and mechanical sound and complex textures emerging from modern electronic constructions.

The DVD “Subliminal Crush”, produced and released 2007 by patpong records/ Romania, is a project that combines the stop motion animation made by Vasile Alboiu aka Black Moon and the music of yvat. The project consists 5 video clips made by using clay, plastic, foam and other less ordinary stuff combined with electronic music.

The latest release "Red", also released by patpong records/ Romania, is yvat's latest project.

His own specific well crafted sounds and textures are to recognize within the album. Constituting a strong, consistent and melodic atmosphere, specific to experimental IDM, even if these are combined with hip hop influences. Tracks are evolving into both sensitive messages and authoritative meanings, oscillating between opposite states of mind and gestures as it is suggested by their titles. A maturity work: polished sounds created using exclusively analogue devices, still preserving an extraordinary structure.

In everyday live, yvat is managing his own MediaSoundDesign company and implied himself in the sampling industry and collaborated with Power FX/ Sweden and Ueberschall Sample Service/  Germany.

At the present, he is one of Power FX producers and his works can be found on the company’s web site powerfx.com.
