IAMYANK

IAMYANK transforms his cinematic world into a visceral club experience: raw, intense and rhythm-driven performance designed for adventurous stages. It’s a heavier, physical extension of his acclaimed instrumental universe.

In 2026, he reached another major milestone as a composer: alongside DJ Bootsie and Balázs Zságer, he co-wrote the music for Budapest’s official August 20 light, drone and fireworks show, and also worked on shaping the full musical arc of the production.

“Vangelis-goes-goth” – Under the Radar UK

“Blast beats, crushing bass and surging electronics with no let up. Perfect noise showing what heavy music can be in an experimental sense.”  Under the Radar UK

“there’s no instrument he cannot play, he’s an extraordinary composer” – KERET

His second full length solo album Láttam a jövőt meghalni (I had seen future dying) had been released in November 2022. It’s heavy and heavenly, with notes of dark cinematic noisy ambient. The live performance embraces two full drum sets with amazing drummers, to make sure the sounds will fill in any venues from corner to corner, and interweaves with intense light show and absorbing visuals. You’ll see the future dying, but we’ll all feel deeply alive. This album had great success at MENT Ljubljana, INOTA Festival, Vision of Sound London, Sziget Festival, and at Budapest Park – which show had been nominated to Music Hungary Award. 

He’s lead teacher of imPro Shcool, teaching sound design and music production. He started his career with DJ sets and remixes he released his own EPs in 2013 Cold Summer, in 2014 City of Nobody and in 2015 Lost Sounds, which had been released in an exceptional and unique way: packed with an adventure game titled ‘Adventures of Poco Eco‘ which won several international awards for the game and for the music too.

Hiraeth, his first full length album, was released in 2016, a big milestone in his career. To push it to its boundaries he started to play live with a 3-piece band. They played all major festivals in Hungary and toured in Poland. He composed the anthem of Valley of Arts festival with Veronika Harcsa, a world famous jazz singer, also he was asked to compose for a large ensemble on the main stage. This led to playing at the Palace of Arts in Budapest, he shared the stage with Lubomyr Melnyk and recorded a live piano and strings album at CAFe Budapest festival in 2019. He had a song in HBO’s Aranyélet series, composed the end title for HBO’s Besúgó series, and wrote the original score for Cristina Grosan’s Things Worth Weeping For.

2021 had been started with a very unique album ‘Una Notte‘, an improvised piano play form the famous Klavins Piano Manufacture as a farewell from the place. He recorded and released a Live Ensemble album, Sarah in June. But after this, surely, a completely different, dark, post-metal turn came: under the name of All Machines Will Fail with Mátyás Mohácsi (bass) and Máté Kocsis (drums) they recorded And We, followed by their second album Don’t Carve Icons, Build Boats, released in September 2024.
