My “music career” is a downright mess. Adding to this mess are the five years since I started anew, using my real name. The main reason for this change lies in the fact through each of the previous incarnations (Narrow, UZS and I/II), the music evolved into something more unified. In search of a “new” identity, my Viennese friend Mike suggested I should simply continue recording under the real name... As my full real name sounds too generic, I yawned at a thought, yet Mike’s suggestion stayed buzzing in the ear and only accidentally, after beginning working on some design at the time, I found an interesting new reference point from which “Iv/An” would make sense, thanks forever be to the little slash line surviving on from the I/II moniker used for a number of years prior.

So, the board was once again wiped clean, for new ideas to come through. The result is a vast collection of test releases, singles, albums, collaborations, remixes, and of course, cover versions. Not everything is featured here but I hope these 12 pieces of original work will help joining the dots. Some are exclusive to this very compilation, some are drafts, some were released previously, mainly in digital form or appeared on some of the obscure promotional/tour editions. In search for a proper title, I looked up to Coil and their collection “Gold is the metal with the broadest shoulders”, the liner notes from which “A stopgap and a breathing space” was taken.

Enjoy.

about

Iv/An

After years of appearing in adapted context or under various guises (Narrow, Umrijeti za strojem, I/II, Split Personalities), in 2015 Iv/An decided to step out of his own shadows and continue apace under his (sort-of) real name.
