Autograft is an IDM/Ambient artist from New York. He has also written music under the pseudonyms doctor monella and salmonella deathsquad, although both of them are no longer in use. He started working with electronic music in 2003, and released several small EPs. They ranged from abstract-techno to darkambient. Soon after these releases his work moved towards the IDM/ambient genres. His current release is the Ambient Shifts EP. It is meant to be an exploration into the sounds and depths of space.
Currently, he is working on some new material, which should be available to listen to in the near future. No new release dates have been announced, but he claims that there will be more music on the way.
Autograft is not signed to any record label.
[edit] Methods
Although Autograft has only been making electronic music for about five years, he has used a variety of different methods to accomplish his sound. In his earlier years he used FL Studio (to create his first two EPs). Now it has been said that he uses a variety of hardware, programs and softsynths. Some of these include Ableton Live, Digital Performer, Roland R-8, Yamaha DX-7, and various Native Instruments softsynths.
