Sapphirine Phlant
About
Valentin Chernov aka Sapphirine Phlant was born in 1995 in a small Russian town, called Novocherkassk. He started to make music in 2012 but it was later in 2013 while listening to AFX's "Analord" series that Chernov made the final decision to strictly only make Ambient / IDM music.
Respected Electronic artist Artists Aphex Twin, Autechre and Burial are his many influences but he is also highly influenced by the non-electronic group Interpol. Sapphirine Phlant's music evokes a sad and lonely minor sound, where his emotions can be transferred in the most plausable way using the same old 808 and 909 drums mixed with Minimoog and Massive deep basses and unpredictable EFX's and atmospheric pads.
The album "Spacedust Polymorph" is a result of "non-ambient" works, made through 2013-2015 and unlike first two albums is mostly oriented on broken and fitful beats. The album ‘Until The Light Takes Us’ is more noise based ambience, with dark experimental influences. The material was recorded through 2014 under the influence of Norwegian Black Metal, grim moods and wandering in mirk. Some ideas were also inspired by chtonic investigation of H.P. Lovecraft opuses.
