Vladislav Isaev, the man behind Scann-Tec was born in 1981 in Moscow, Russia. He became interested in writing music in 1997. Back then, it was just one of his many hobbies. From 1997 until 2002 he was recording his music on tapes and CDs mostly for himself and his friends. In 2002, he bought his first MIDI keyboard and started taking music more seriously. He started writing psytrance music and was invited to play it at some parties in 2002 and 2003. In 2004, after buying some additional equipment, he started writing ambient and chill-out music. Four months later, he had released his first EP entitled "Visiting Sky" on the Kahvi Records. This was followed by another EP entitled "Collaps" on Acedia Music a few months later. Vladislav is currently working as a lead system administrator of ISP in Moscow.
Unlike many other artists, who are mostly influenced by other people's music, Vladislav finds inspiration in many other things. Examples of these things are the sounds around him; people; movies; books; the sound of walkie-talkie conversations, regardless of what the people are actually talking about...it's the sound that matters. His favourite instrument is his digital dictaphone. He loves to record people's voices, especially the voices of unusual people. This brings another dimension and atmosphere to his music. He is also obsessed with fat basslines, atmospheric pads and psychedelic sequences that take listeners to other dimensions of sound. He loves to transfer the visual atmosphere into aural.
