CHINZISTOR

I am Chinzistor, a years old, Hungarian music producer.

Short life story

I was born in Vác, Hungary in 1999, february 26 as the 3rd child in a 6-children family, grew up in a village called Kartal.

I used to study at the local school for 5 years starting 2005, then continued my studies at a Christian school named Bornemisza Péter Ginmázium, where I also finished high school.

Later I attended the Budapest University of Technology and Economics for a year to study computer engineering, spent a year as a construction worker then spent another year at the University of Óbuda, again learning computer engineering. I soon realized, university studies and construction aren't for me, so I left that both.

Ever since I've been working as a telecommunication technician, my main job is to maintain coaxial networks and handle customers' issues locally in Budapest.

The story of the stage name

A long time ago I had a dream about me walking in the corridors of my school. As I was walking towards the gym, I've heard some metal music from the inside. As I entered the room, I've noticed it's my old buddy listening to it on a battery powered CD player/radio. I recognized the song but I couldn't recall the band's name, so I asked my friend about it, he said it's Kinsin (the song itself was Perdition Haze by Disarmonia Mundi). Later I was looking for this band called Kinsin, but I could not find anything remotely close to it, so it was kind of a dead end in looking for the song itself.

When I created this name after deciding to let my old name go and rebrand everything I made to the new name, I remembered this dream, grabbed that name and made it a more finished and more serious sounding.

Short story of my faith

I was born into a Catholic family, but neither my parents or us (the kids) were practicing anything Christianity related.

Few month after I turned 6, my parents visited a neo-protestant church and quickly realized how messed up their life is.

Shortly after they brought me and my elder siblings with them to church too and I also accepted Christ into my heart - at that point I had no clue what that means.

The first turning point of my life in Christ happened when I was 12. The children were kept at the playground next to the church so they wouldn't disturb the sermon. I had a huge headache and one of the adults who were guarding us told me to join the sermon, so I did. When the pastor called the visitors for repentance, I felt that this calling is for me, so I walked in front of the whole church and gave m life to Christ - but at that point I had some clue what this means.

Years went by and when I was around 18, I started to walk further and further away from the church and Christ. I didn't give up my faith but I really didn't put any effort into maintaining my relationship with Christ. I kept skipping the sermons, didn't keep in touch with my friends there. This went on up until the Covid-19 outbreak when the in person gatherings were banned, so I actually had no choice but to not go to church. I could watch the streams my pastor had, but I didn't care much about watching it. I was 21 when finally we could gather in person once again. I felt the strong urge to go, so I did. When my pastor called the visitors for repentance, I once again felt that this message is for me. After some hesitation, I almost ran in front of the church, giving my life to Christ once again - but at this point I was fully aware what this means.

Ever since I've been maintaining my relationship with Christ more and more, becoming more and more devoted and obedient towards Him.

This is something I am not willing to give up, because there's nothing in this world which would be worth more than having a close relationship with Christ.

Electric Fusion of Metal

Producing this album originally was a learning experiment to get in touch with Fruity Loops Studio. As you listen to the tracks on the album, you'll notice that my skills are getting better and I gain more and more experience with the DAW. As I was working on this album, I started to learn how different synths work, got into automation, did a little sound design as well and also touched mastering a tiny bit - but I had no clue what I was actually doing. I just had fun with all the knobs and sliders. Around the last tracks I moved out more and more from my comfort zone. I started to compose in scales other than C major - first was Fear, I gathered more bravery to work with effects, do more sound design.

I call myself a metalhead. No, I don't have long hair or wear all black clothes but I do enjoy listening to heavy music. One favorite part of metal for me is the drumbeat. I especially love metalcore drumbeats and I really like to use them in my electronic songs. Due to this my songs have a little heavy vibe so I wanted to give a name to the album which represents the heavy vibe mixed with all the synths. So this is why I called my first album Electric Fusion of Metal.

Connected Textures

I had an idea to make a whole album from songs which continue each other. In other words a song's intro is the same as the previous song's outro.

I used to love playing Minecraft and Minecraft has a thing which connects each blocks' texture to the next one's so no grid pattern will be visible (OptiFine was needed when I last played it). This is what Minecraft calls connected textures and I made songs connected together so this is why I named the album Connected Textures.

Bass but Hard

I found a youtuber under the name Life of Boris - yes, I used to learn the ways of the Cheeki Breeki. He loves hardbass, I fell in love with the genre too and it inspired me so well I made an EP somewhat in the style. I know it's not true hardbass but I tried my best.

I didn't have much creativity when I came up with this name. It's hardbass, Bass but Hard.

Beast

After most of my works are energetic, upbeat, fast, I really wanted to have a bit of a change. I wanted to create an album with soothing vibes, to make the listener calm.

Originally I wanted to make an album with songs based on different styles of different countries, mostly folk styles, like Egyptian, Japanese, Chinese, etc, so the listener would've been able to "travel" around the World by listening to this album. Also I wanted to make the album relaxing, so this is why I named it Relaxed Travelling. When I started this album, I've already forgotten about the idea so I just made some orchestral music.

Ch1p M3dl3y

I like chiptune music and I wanted to experiment with its sounds and style. I've found some really nice chiptune presets in one of my favorite VST plugins, Helm, so I've started working on some melodies and remakes.

I had as much creativity with this one as with Bass but Hard. Since calling the album just plain Chiptune would've been the laziest move, I still had figure out something unique. Instead of the word tune I used medley, then I replaced some letters with similar looking numbers (I did the same with the song titles), and that's how the name was made.
