atlaskopko was initiated in 1987 and was at the beginning more of a musical project than a band, a descendant of the group ix-ex-splue with their hypnotic improvisations and meditative noise orgies to experimental industrial/noise rock. This description also fits the current production of atlaskopko. atlaskopko is a follow-up band to ix-ex-splue, but with an expanded musical vocabulary that additionally includes a strong tendency towards cinematic music.
