Scallis

A.k.a. Angel Draganov Polygon Ring Scell

Polygon Ring (aka Scallis,Scell) strated producing music in 1995. His first compositions fit in the soothing melodic side of ambient, with occasional sidesteps into noise, drone and various tape experiments. These early works came before he had the chance to use computer based tools to create music and were realized with the help of cheap synthesizers, a couple of tape recorders and a dictaphone used for field recordings. In the course of the following years he was a part of a rock band called Virus, where he played keyboards. The band's music was a mixture of hardcore and hip-hop. Virus used to play regularly in various clubs around the city of Rousse and became quite popular locally. Throughout these years, Angel continued working on his personal projects which resulted in many tracks of various styles - techno, drum'n'bass, idm and some obscure experimental pieces. Virus got disbanded in 2000, several months after the first tracks under the Polygon Ring moniker were released on the web through the now defunct Trax In Space archive. These works were tracker based, created with ModPlug. After several releases there he became a part of two netlabels - Zrax (for the more experimental projects) and Hedfone (a strictly techno oriented label). After the two labels' demise and a couple of years later his music found home on Kahvi Collective where he occasionally releases single offerings. Just a fraction of Polygon Ring's works have been released to wider public as the remaining part of his production is usually passed among friends, sometimes in the form of custom designed cassettes and CDs.
