Here Goes Nothing

Now Anything Is Possible

This track was the second on my "Control" album in 2002. I wrote most of it in Tokyo and finished it when I returned. 

I was fascinated with the Japanese idea of "Shinjinrui" and this melody and rhythm emerged while I was doing on of my long journeys on foot over there. 

Ten years later, I still love the pulsing rhythm and lovely bell sounds... one of my favourite pre-APR tracks

New Human Form

Single from my old band, Tainted Violets - circa 1990. Time has not been kind to the original recording

Alternate Parallel Reality is a sonic manifestation of interests in existential/post-modern philosophy, abstract expressionist art and art-house cinema.

Sean Cooper:
"I’ve been working under the moniker of Alternate Parallel Reality since 2005. Before that, I used other pseudonyms like Crash Symbol and Hammerhaus. I released an ambient album under my own as plain old Sean Cooper in 2003 and spent three years before that as Sean X, writing “dark techno”. Before that, I spent years playing guitar and bass in various bands – right back to high school.

My releases are rare and usually given away. I am not manufacturing for a target market. I write when I’m inspired and hope that there’s others out there who appreciate the frequency that APR generates." 

Sean uses a guitar synth and found voice samples, with an array of hardware and software to create sounds that range from psychedelic to industrial breakbeats - all attempting to poignantly reflect the human condition.
