Skoud (a contraction of his fore and surname) is one man. Simon Koudriavtsev was born in Russia, but moved to Sweden in 1995 where he taught himself drums and music programming. Skoud took a year out to study music recording/engineering in Carlisle, UK which is where he met Mark of Motive Sounds. Some demos from Skoud were exchanged which led to an album and EP being released by the label. These releases are best described as collections of miniature electronic pieces that fuse the delicate melodies of Múm with the lush soundscapes of Boards of Canada. Skoud's sound has gained universal praise, including a 9/10 review in Rocksound Magazine, a review and distribution from Warp Records online emporium, Warpmart, and radio play on Nick Luscombe's XFM 'Flo Motion' show. New material and a "change of direction" is in the works alongside the day job of making sounds and music for computer games.
