- Aidas Arciakov
- Aidas Arciakov** (born 24 February 1999), known professionally as **Axdas**, is a Lithuanian-born musician, sound engineer, photographer, designer and creative entrepreneur based in London, England. His work spans independent music, audio production, visual design, fashion and emerging technology.
Arciakov is associated with the independent music identity **EchoSounds** and founded the clothing project **Dirty Formula**. His creative interests frequently combine music, visual culture and digital technology.
- Early life
Arciakov was born in Kėdainiai, Lithuania.
He developed an early interest in music and played piano while attending school in Kėdainiai. Music became one of the earliest forms of creative expression in his life and later influenced his involvement in sound engineering and production.
At approximately fifteen years old, Arciakov moved from Lithuania to London, England.
After entering the British education system during Year 11, he increasingly developed his creative and technical abilities through independent learning.
His interests expanded beyond music into photography, graphic design, consumer technology and digital media.
- Music career
Arciakov performs and releases music under the professional name **Axdas**.
His musical work incorporates elements of alternative R&B, hip hop, cloud-influenced production and experimental contemporary music.
His creative approach is often centred on atmosphere and emotion, with personal experiences frequently influencing the themes and direction of his music.
Music associated with Axdas includes **“Find You”** and **“Forever2014”**.
Arciakov developed experience in music production and sound engineering through involvement in London's independent creative scene.
He has worked around recording studio environments and has described involvement with **SP Studios** and creative work associated with **“On The Low.”**
His experience in studio environments contributed to a wider interest in the technical processes behind recorded music.
- EchoSounds
Arciakov developed **EchoSounds** as an independent music and creative identity.
The project originated from his interests in music production, sound engineering and independent artist development.
Arciakov has explored the possibility of expanding EchoSounds beyond conventional music production by incorporating new technologies into the creative process.
His interest in artificial intelligence has particularly influenced concepts involving automated and AI-assisted audio engineering.
Arciakov has proposed technology designed to make music engineering tools more accessible to independent musicians and creators.
- Dirty Formula
Arciakov is the founder of **Dirty Formula**, an independent clothing and visual design project.
The brand was developed around dark humour, provocative visual concepts and an unapologetic creative identity.
Dirty Formula has used **DF** branding and monogram-inspired visual designs across clothing concepts.
Products developed or proposed under the brand have included hoodies and limited clothing releases.
Arciakov has been involved in the project's visual direction, branding, promotional concepts and product development.
The project reflects his broader interest in combining humour, controversy and visual design.
- Photography and visual design
Alongside music, Arciakov has developed an interest in photography and graphic design.
His visual work has influenced the branding and creative direction of his music and fashion projects.
Rather than treating music, photography and design as completely separate disciplines, Arciakov has frequently combined them within a wider creative identity.
He has worked on branding concepts, clothing graphics and promotional visuals for his own projects.
- Technology and repair
Arciakov has practical experience repairing phones, computers and consumer electronics.
His interest in technology initially developed through hardware repair and troubleshooting.
He later explored the technology repair identity **EchoTechFix**.
His practical experience with devices contributed to a broader curiosity about software and emerging technology.
During the mid-2020s, Arciakov became increasingly interested in artificial intelligence and AI-assisted software development.
- Artificial intelligence and software concepts
Arciakov began experimenting with generative artificial intelligence and natural-language software development tools during the rapid growth of consumer AI technologies in the mid-2020s.
Without following a conventional software engineering career path, he explored the use of AI-assisted coding systems to develop digital products and application concepts.
His technology interests have frequently overlapped with his creative background.
One of his recurring concepts has involved artificial intelligence-assisted music engineering.
The proposed technology aims to combine automated audio processing with tools intended for musicians and independent creators.
Arciakov has also explored concepts involving photography, spatial image presentation and digital media.
His interest in AI is particularly focused on the ability of individual creators to develop technology without traditional development teams.
- Creative approach
Arciakov's work is characterised by movement between different creative and technical disciplines.
Music remains central to his creative identity, while photography, design, fashion and technology have become additional methods of expression.
His projects frequently begin with a central concept or identity before expanding into visual and technical elements.
This approach can be seen in projects including Axdas, EchoSounds and Dirty Formula.
Arciakov has described creativity as closely connected to experimentation and independent learning.
He frequently explores unfamiliar technologies and creative methods through practical experimentation.
- Views on creativity and technology
Arciakov has expressed an interest in the changing relationship between individual creators and technology.
The development of generative artificial intelligence has influenced his belief that musicians and other independent creatives may increasingly be able to develop products without large teams or significant initial resources.
His technology concepts often focus on reducing barriers between an idea and its practical development.
Arciakov has explored AI tools not only as creative assistants but as a method of independently developing software concepts.
His interests include the future of artificial intelligence, machine autonomy and the relationship between human creativity and automated systems.
- Views on wealth and freedom
A recurring theme in Arciakov's personal philosophy is the relationship between financial independence and personal freedom.
He has expressed scepticism towards the idea that financial status reflects a person's moral value or character.
Arciakov has described a strong appreciation for individuals whose personal qualities may be overlooked because of their social or financial circumstances.
At the same time, financial independence remains one of his major ambitions.
For Arciakov, wealth is primarily associated with autonomy.
He has described success as the ability to create independently, control his own time and avoid unnecessary dependence on other people or organisations.
His stated ambition is to achieve financial success without losing empathy or becoming disconnected from people facing difficult circumstances.
- Independent learning
A significant characteristic of Arciakov's creative development has been independent learning.
His knowledge across music, audio production, photography, visual design, hardware repair and artificial intelligence has largely developed through practical experimentation.
Arciakov frequently approaches unfamiliar subjects by attempting to build or repair something directly.
This learning style has influenced his movement between different industries and creative disciplines.
His work reflects an interest in understanding both the creative and technical processes behind products.
- Personality and working style
Arciakov's working style is characterised by curiosity, experimentation and rapid development of new ideas.
He frequently explores multiple creative disciplines and has developed concepts across music, fashion and technology.
His creative process often begins with a broad idea before developing into a brand, visual identity or potential product.
Arciakov has publicly identified focus and consistency as important areas of personal development.
His long-term creative goals increasingly centre on developing individual concepts into completed and sustainable projects.
- Artistic themes
Themes associated with Arciakov's creative interests include identity, ambition, freedom, trust and the relationship between chaos and creativity.
His music and visual concepts often use darker imagery alongside humour or emotional themes.
Another recurring theme is the difference between public appearance and private character.
Arciakov has expressed an interest in people and experiences that are frequently judged primarily through external circumstances.
This perspective has influenced both his personal philosophy and creative concepts.
- Axdas
- Axdas** is Arciakov's primary artistic identity.
The name is primarily associated with his music but also forms part of his wider creative work.
