The album Hypermin offers a journey through meticulously crafted electronic sounds, emphasizing minimalistic textures evoking contemplation and emotion through sound. Ivan Zavada explores the intricate relationship between sound and technology, inviting audiences to embark on a journey that transcends musical boundaries. Deeply influenced by the principles of electroacoustic music and computer-assisted composition, his compositions feature sonic imagery and rhythmic pulse creating an immersive auditory experience.

His compositions are characterized by a unique combination of electronic sounds, where the focus goes beyond melody and rhythm to sculpt sonic timbre and texture.

Hypermin 01 even makes use of Ivan’s violin playing and Hypermin 10 is the exact reverse of the same track, offering new perspectives on sound to complete the album. This approach results in a listening experience that is both immersive and introspective, allowing audiences to engage with the music on a personal level. Hypermin 05 and 06 are intended to be intertwined in a live setting, where they can be mixed together between minor and major atmospheres.
