Ukrainian electroacoustic guru Younnat has come up with an interesting mechanical sampler interface, the Socket Sampler.

Younnat is a side project of Oleg Serdyuk, keyboardist of the easy listening & funky band Lyuk (Ukraine). His electronic music is different from his work with Lyuk – more eclectic and experimental.

Oleg began releasing material as Younnat in March 2007, with the 23 minute and 09 second single “The Duct” on Bump Foot Japanese netlabel. Later, “The Duct” was re-released on Planear Records (Argentine netlabel). Oleg has just finished work on a new album, “Ryba”.
