Bufferglitch encompasses the work of Ivo Ivanov, best known for his vast contributions to the creative audio company Glitchmachines, where he is the Founder & CEO.

In addition to his role as Creative & Technical Director at Glitchmachines, Ivo has worked as a sound designer and content provider with a multitude of creative audio companies including Ableton, Native Instruments, Tiptop Audio, Twisted Tools, SoundMorph, Unfiltered Audio, K-Devices, Signal Space Lab, Audio Damage, Inear Display, Skywalker Sound, Soundsnap, Plugin Boutique and Splice Sounds. 

Ivo is also a visual designer specializing in 3D modeling and motion graphic design. In 2005, he became known for the unique aesthetic of his circuit-bent hardware instruments, which he subsequently custom-made for Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Richard Devine, Trent Reznor, Derrick Carter and many others.  Ivo is responsible for all facets of the visual identity, product design and branding at Glitchmachines.

In the early 90s, Ivo submerged himself in audio technology and earned a reputation among peers as a synthesizer and music production expert.  In 2000, he was hired to tour the U.S. as a member of Reprise Records’ Snake River Conspiracy. Following his experimental concept album release on Detroit Underground Records, Ivo self-published several releases created entirely on his modular system.

In 2008, Ivo earned his Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Audio Engineering from the Expression College for Digital Arts in California, where he was also the first-ever recipient of the Game Audio Network Guild scholarship. He subsequently spent five years working with the SAE Institute of Technology in San Francisco, where he was the Campus Director and Head of the Audio Technology Program.
