Proem, otherwise known as Richard Bailey, has been releasing music since 1999 on labels like merck, n5MD, and Hydrant. He started experimenting with electronic devices at the age of 19, using three thrift store turntables, some tape decks, a few garage sale Casio SK-5s, and some circuit bent bargain bin keyboards. He has released albums, EPs and remixes on labels across the IDM scene and is regarded as one of the early members of the strong US based IDM scene that started around 2000...

I started writing MIDI musick in the late 90's and gradually progressed into electronic/ambient sound forms over the years. It all didn't get drastically intriguing until I was about eighteen when I bought my first synthesizer, a Roland XP30.

I started a projekt with a drum machine and my Roland called This Old Crow. That lasted on and off for about six years.

During those years I collaborated with Paul Brainerd Jr in a projekt called Discordant Brainchildren. We recorded two albums worth of musick over the years and have had some live performances together.

And always, during my time while picking up gear and evolving, my solo project has evolved into great heights. "A Cardinal Night" is my first solo release in almost three or four years since I have been working with my band Remote Viewfinder.

The musick on this page is a collection of my past projekts and current solo musick.
