Diva "Genisys" is a collection of 140 patches for u-he's Diva synth. Its focus lies on modern contemporary analog sounds.

Diva "Genisys" delivers lots of animated fluid arpeggios, dark basses and bass lines, lush ambient pads, distant evolving atmospheres, sci-fi fx's, energetic pulses, modern analog synths with lot's of expression and dark ominous soundscapes.

Main influences can be attributed to Daniel Lopatin (Uncut Gems), Oneohtrix Point Never (Good Time), Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow (Ex Machina), Paul Haslinger (Neuland), Disasterpeace (It Follows) and a dash of Berlin type sounds in the vein of Tangerine Dream.

Many patches offer added adaptability programmed into the Modwheel and Aftertouch, to make these sounds come alive.

Amphilium / Outside Interference

Dreaming Off World is a demo track by Amphilium, using seven presets from Bioscape. The thought behind this piece was to portray a sense of wonderment towards traveling beyond the stars with a lullaby-like melody, but at the same time, having a slight sense of uneasiness lurking underneath it all. Some track EQ was used to allow the tracks to fit together, with a master limiter to bring the track up.

Signals from the Outer Rim is the second demo track by Amphilium and all audio is strictly Bioscape, without any external effects. Some track sculpting EQ was used to allow the tracks to fit together, with a master limiter to bring the track up. The presets used were: 

Birdbox SU
Cover me with Flowers SU
Morse Code AP
Forboder ES
Empathology CG

Amphilium - Signals From The Outer Rim

Keith’s calling as a musician began at the tender age of five, when he  was gifted a toy organ. He promptly began playing renditions of the commercial jingles heard on television, and from there progressed to studying movie soundtracks. Keith’s realization of the profound effect music had in connecting with an audience launched him on his journey as a  composer.


Keith's compositions thoughtfully blend orchestral and electronic elements to create an emotionally enticing soundscape, while his gift for creating thematic music with captivating melodies enables the listener to travel on a personal  journey through the ebb and flow of each piece.

A graduate of the UCLA Extension Film Scoring Program, Keith studied  under notable film and television composers and industry professionals.  After completing his studies, he was awarded an internship with The Society of Composers and Lyricists Annual Mentor Program and selected as one of only 15 participants in the annual ASCAP Annual Film Scoring Workshop. Keith was later featured in Music Connection magazine in an article focusing on the diverse backgrounds of the group.

His album of New Age music entitled, "Etc...", was released through Bay Area record label Noir Records, which led to a collaboration with the  composer for the independent film, Park Day, for which Keith provided additional music. This film went on to win the Audience Award at the Urbanworld Film Festival.

Keith also scored the short film, The Showdown, which received the inaugural Triple Play Award for Best Technical Integration – Original Score at the Long Island International Film Expo.

While still passionate about writing New Age compositions, Keith also continues to work with music publishers and trailer house companies, where his music can be heard in various mediums.
