I love the textures of sounds and their ability to tell a story. My original compositions have central elements of psychedelic soundscapes, polyrhythms, and deep bass frequencies. I'm interested in music that transports the listener into inner and outer space.

I perform live using hardware synths, drum machines, various controllers, Ableton Live.  Visuals are a big part of my work and I'm currently working on a live A/V set that incorporates synchronized video and live hybrid electronic performance.

Original Tracks

Rom Di Prisco - Aquilla 303

Trippy house tech trancey dancey.  Or something like that...

terraform

The Manatee EP started out as a project called Manatee Beats, which was composed during COVID lockdown in Florida.  Reflecting an initial claustrophobic feeling of having to stay home during a pandemic, to expanding and ascending toward fresh air and mental clarity.  Ahem - Urgency features quotes from a George Monbiot interview on Democracy Now, and is a call to action for individuals and leaders to align with saving Mother Earth.

Live performance recording in Boulder CO, for the Proton Featured Artist show.  My good friend DJ Black Velveteen asked me to do a mix for the radio show and I was super happy when she agreed that an original live set would be a good thing to do.  With all the flaws and bits and pieces of a true live set, here is the one take live performance outside on top of a hill north of Boulder Colorado. Enjoy!

I compose and perform electronic music, remix awesome tracks, and DJ music that moves me. My EPs and tracks appear on Sage Rites, Uniting Souls Music, Munchies After Dark, Late Night Munchies, and The Seed. I also self-release under no label, but I’m working on establishing one. I compose soundtracks, having completed scores for two full-length movies. My video credits are numerous, including music and sound design for several short movies and video projects.

As a remix artist, I enjoy working with other artists' sonic palettes just as much as I like composing my own music. I love to remix other artists' work, with several completed for Uniting Souls Music, Viva Recordings, Munchies After Dark, Global Vortex, and The Seed.
 
I've collaborated with several pioneering artists including Berlin-based DJ Tanith as the duo FATALIST in Wiesbaden, Germany in the 80s. I formed TEKNOSPHERE in the 90s with Bill Kraemer, a prolific DJ and producer who runs The Seed label. Other collaborations include Dusk, with Simone Shannon; Collabo and Dugo Huzo, with David Halsell; and work with UK singer/songwriter Henta and surround sound guru David Miles Huber. Some of my sonic contributions include Henta's Grammy-nominated release "Laserium for the Soul" and David Miles Huber's Grammy-nominated album “Colabs”.
 
It all started in Colorado Springs in 1984. I formed a collaboration with Danny Stewart named Memento Mori (“remember the dead” in Latin).  We were very goth, and nothing like other bands in the city! The only venues that would have us as synth goth experimenters were Club Annex, a gay club in Colorado Springs and Auntie Moon's in Manitou Springs. Soon after our inaugural gigs, I inadvertently became an Army brat and moved to Germany. I found myself quickly attending concerts and clubs in and around Wiesbaden and Frankfurt.
 
My years in Germany were my favorite part of my life, as I was fortunate enough to be present for the beginnings of the electronic music scene. My main influence was Chris & Cosey, whose experimental electronic sound and synth wizardry made a great impression. Other influencers were Front 242, Einsturzende Neubauten, Dead Can Dance, The Cure, Depeche Mode, and other electronic, experimental, goth & industrial bands. By the end of the 80s, I was moving my body to the wonderful sounds of New Beat, Acid House, and Techno at various dance clubs in Germany.
