Autism

AUTiSM, as a musical project, originates in the mid-nineties, in an era when electronic music, as a global phenomenon, was just emerging - at least in Eastern Europe, where AUTiSM operated at that time.

Their first releases were cassettes with inkjet-printed inlays, sold at local record kiosks. Taking all the best that the electronic scene of London, Berlin and some American cities provided, AUTiSM was able to create its own unique sound that might seem global in the general context, but still always stayed a thing-in-itself — music that remained very emotional on any stylistic background, be it IDM, acid jazz or daring minimalistic experiments.

Several DIY releases later, after moving across countries and continents, Vadim Militsin, the leading force of the project, eventually settled in New York. He played several gigs, got frustrated of the outcome and decided to write and record music at home — for his own pleasure. New albums were available online, but never attracted public attention due to lack of publicity.

Vadim says about himself that he is more a DJ of loops and samples than a musician.
"An architect builds a house of bricks. He does not have to create his own authentic bricks to build a beautiful house. I create an album from various sound sources that match the mood of the album. Some of them were not created by me, I discovered them. They just suddenly fell right into place."
