Hello, we’re NASA. You may have seen our astronauts, rocket launches, or Mars rovers — but have you heard our sounds? From interviews with astronauts and engineers to stories that take you on a tour of the galaxy, NASA’s audio offerings let you experience the thrill of space exploration without ever leaving Earth.

As my profile suggests, my name is Alexander Buccheri. I don't claim to be yet another guy who has revolutionised the dance/electronic scene or attempt to impart some self-styled sense of importance through a 3rd-person description. In essence, I love production, making intricate beats, melodies and fusing detailed composition with euphoric melodies. My current "day job" is studying for a PhD in computational physics which is unexpectedly time-consuming but if I can continue to interact through an extended network of like-minded people, hopefully I'll make myself sufficiently accountable to get ~50+ unfinished tracks and constant new ideas out there. 

See below for a mini-bio of my journey through music production and sound design (written in 2010):

I began producing music at the age of 13 after I heard "Spy Break" by the Propeller Heads on the film "The Matrix", with the aim of producing breakbeat as an alternative to playing the drums (which I never got). From an even earlier age I was listening to a wide range of dance music including PvD, Sasha, orbital etc and liked the idea of cross-pollination of genres (much like Hybrid does now). I owe a lot to the Wipeout 3 Soundtrack. 

The same year I was lucky enough to get hold of a cracked copy of Logic 4 Pro and taught myself how to use it on my old Model 2 iMac. Largely thanks to my Dad's expansive taste in music I was exposed to alot of different genres at this age, notably experimental breakbeat and DnB. I still consider Photek to be the out and out master of DnB with his seminal track "The rings around Saturn". This was still an exciting time for dance music, especially trance and much of that musical era 1995-2005) has formed my overall taste in music and seriously contributed to the direction my productions take. 

I've been producing for 9 years now but slowed down during my A-levels and ground to a halt in the last 2 years of my degree (of which was 4 years long). Having recently graduated, I'm now increasing my production rate again and hope to expand my knowledge base past that of Logic, to Ableton Live (which I stopped using on version 3), engage in the live performance of synthetic music and push my creative boundaries.

Somewhere inbetween all of this, I took home an Ableton Live 3 demo from the 2003 Mac show and was exposed to BT (Brian Transeau) who continues to be a pivotal inspiration when arranging and producing my own work, along side big beat acts such as the Crystal Method. 

Experimenting with loop pedals, arcane guitar tunings, and homemade effects.

Dutch singer-songwriter Maaike Siegerist relocated to the UK to study music after an inspiring songwriting retreat in Dumfries and Galloway in 2013. Now based in Glasgow, she blends acoustic jazz, folk rock, and electronica, writing vivid, story-driven songs about travel, love, fascinating people, animals, and outer space. Her work has picked up multiple songwriting awards and praise from BBC Radio 6’s Tom Robinson for her “delicate vocal, poised production, gorgeous chord changes.”

She’s also the vocalist for Scottish prog rock band Long Earth and releases haunting and otherworldly music as Dora Lachaise.

“Maaike’s voice is butterflies-inducing.”
– Neil March, Trust the Doc
