Anton Maskeliade - Subtract the Silence of Myself app for iPhone and iPad

Maskeliade is one of the first musicians in the world who plays music and visuals with gesture control technology leap motion. Using his whole body, he creates new soundscapes on the spot with 3D MIDI controllers and glitchy samplers. Always on the search for the new devices to diversify his performance, he is developing gesture control technique to adjust audio effects with visual projections making the whole live set interactive. Musical improvisation is a big part of his performance, while he creates music by the principle of the “first takes”, always leaving the initial, roughest pieces of the composition in the final edit, bringing this elusive principle into the genres of electronica and contemporary pop.

Maskeliade is one of the most exciting new upcoming artists - his first album "Subtract the Silence of Myself " was released in April 2014. His music career started when he was selected for American cultural exchange program OneBeat that gathers the most talented artists from around the world. Since then he performed in New York, Washington, Orlando, Luzern, Stockholm, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk, Bratislava, Vienna... and with artists like Moderat, Emika, The Herbaliser, Sun Glitters, The Glitch Mob, Dub FX and Xeno & Oaklander. After successful performance at Waves Vienna festival & conference, Maskeliade is invited to participate at other showcase events: Ment in
Slovenia, Colisium in Russia and Canadian Music Week in Toronto. Maskeliade soon got recognized by the media worldwide: National Television in Russia, Virus Radio (Switzerland), Indiehoy.com (Argentina), Indierockmag.com (France), Radio Clash (UK), RipItUp (New Zealand), Attica (France), 101.3 FM (Australia).
