UNITED STATES OF EQUANIMITY(USOE) is a platform for the creative expressions of Roy Layer, who was born in Toronto, Canada and currently lives in Peterborough. 

USOE began in an analog home basement studio in 1987, which lasted until January 1989. The second digital home studio came together in 2012. 

All these recordings are essentially live spontaneous manifestations made using musical hardware.  Pre-recording loops of simple motifs with the Kaossilator Pro and Kaos Pad, and having access to multiple instruments at arm's length permits  a significant presence and versatility without losing touch with the immediacy of the moment.  

Art for art's sake.  U.S.O.E. is a non-commercial enterprise.  All tracks are free to download.  They may be freely used so long as credit is given.  Additional spontaneous collaborations with close friends are posted under the name "Space Patrol".

Feel free to reach out.  I would be happy to hear from you.
