Ustoz: Emotive electronica formed from the modern world.


In the year 1986, the walls of an ordinary maternity hospital were deafened by a loud baby's cry. From birth, Akmal demanded music like food. In the words of his mother - young Akmal at the age of 6 months weeped without ending and only stopped if he was played music.

In his youth, the first thing he began to listen to were records of Dire Straits, Pink Floyd and Peter Gabriel. Constant listening made him addicted to music and he toyed with a career in a music shop surrounded by great albums all day long. Everything changed however when he was 15 and found a software program to create music, Fruity Loops 3.5 and he achieved results without using samples (loops). From there the creative side of this peculiar personality was unleashed, Ustoz was born.

Ustoz speaks an universal music language, shaping information and transforming it to the normal sounds of music and giving abstract stories the music to perform to our ears. He hears everything, the chaotish drops falling, winds howling. His musen are random notes and sounds.

From this time he started to devote all his free time to creating music, using and experimenting with different music software: Cubase SX, Cakewalk, Nuendo and Reason. In 2005, at the age of 19 Ustoz opened his first demo recording studio. A colleague asked Akmal to make the music for several games on mobile phones and at last Ustoz had a chance to share his music with the world. That event was the first brick in building his music career. Then there was the dynamic soundtrack in the Uzbek film "Cruel game" in April of 2009. In April 2010, he released his single "Roobaba" a mix of oriental tunes and western rhythmics. Nowadays, He works with several local pop artists as a sound engineer and arranger. He also works with filmmakers as a sound engineer.
