Music Growth Engineer
I'm Andrew Apanov. I help music tech companies and music artists grow their brands online. I perform live with modular synths as Matter Andrew.
What I'm working on in 2025 (so far)
As always, I'm busy with the Dotted Music agency, serving the likes of Dreamtonics, David Löhlein and our other incredible clients. I don't release new episodes of the Music Growth Talks podcast, but you can still find plenty of information there. In my spare time, I play improv techno solo & in a band called Zero One One, manage the Vision Ekstase record label as well as my own ambient imprint REBORN AS CATS, and help out a Eurorack synth manufacturer called Wildsync.
