andrew eigus was born in riga in 1973. selffish materialised in 2002. the name selffish denotes a paradigm shift in andrew's life. the music selffish produced was slower and more refined than eigus's earlier works. selffish fuses his melodies with minimal beats to create original and organic ambient sounds and an ethereal listening experience. to add another layer to his music, he incorporates field recordings from within and outside the city of riga, grand piano recordings, as well as other acoustic instruments and the human voice.

We could call Selffish the most succesful musician on the Latvian electronic scene. His works stand very closely to the worldwide quality level of electronic music. Gentle and accurate music which requires a lot of work. Respect!
hey mate, farewell is amazing, really nice track! do you plan some european gigs this year? last time I heard you at Wilsonic festival in Bratislava, Slovakia, where I play with our band Foolk. Hope I'll see you soon somewhere near. Good job, let it grow!
i should ve been in riga n meet u, been long time//sooo, yes, the sound recordings, i have very special place n u have very special mikes.))that means u have to come visiting ogre
i am working on the new album for thinner, which is going to be a free mp3 release. it takes me longer than i initially expected, but it's just because some things in this life require more time and devotion. thank you all for patience! -selffi

Nice Sound. It was drawn to your wonderful music. Your music is grand and delicate. Your music cleans the heart. Transparent touch like water.. Warm touch.. Touch gentle to.. Your music feels an art.
