It all began in 2005 when J. M. Stelly was looking
to explore new musical territories. Playing with
multiple musicians on multiple projects, Stelly soon
realized that the frustrations of doing what was in
his head would almost be impossible to with others.
Venturing out, Stelly built the foundations of what
would become Synthetic Anatomica. After recording
an all piano and strings album called “My Heart Bleeds
Darker than Grey Skies”, Stelly decided that he would
pursue even darker territories. In 2006 Stelly recorded
an all ambient and experimental album called “The
Collapse of Consciousness”, an album that was written
as more of biography of his nightmares from
childhood to his nightmares as an adult.
In 2007 Stelly would again go on to record a
third album based around the concepts of 2012 called
“The Forbidden Thought” an album that is completely
made of symphonic orchestration. Realizing that his
music was driven more towards scoring for film,
television, and games he decided that he would stray
away from the traditional means of going out and
playing shows. Stelly went on to release “The Violent
Reaction” in January of 2009. This time Stelly decided
that he would release the album to the public
without the support of a label.
Going back to the realm of concepts, Stelly
compiled research and his own experiences into a new
album entitled “X”. The album tells the story of a
mental hospital that falls victim to a mass murder
and eventual suicide. Twenty years later, a ghost
hunter goes into the hospital to investigate, only to
discover the truth about both the hospital and
himself.
Synthetic Anatomica is an all instrumental
project that relies on concepts and ideas. Writing
from a more visual stand point, S.A. remains the single
brain child of Stelly. He now has plans to start
playing live, making every show unique and different
by writing new material for every show and
recording them live as well as engaging the film and
game industry as a composer.
