A collection of people, marooned on a mysterious island, gradually turn into humanoid mushroom entities.   This analog synth performance was inspired by the 1963 Japanese sci-fi horror film, Montango - Attack of the Mushroom People

Synthoid Sounds

In an ancient epoch, many endless hours were spent designing and building my own analog synth and effects modules, mystifying the neighbors in the predawn hours with mysterious sound experiments.   
Now many endless hours are spent creating presets, soundscapes and compositions, mystifying the neighbors in the predawn hours, from my ever evolving synth lab, spawning tracks from the incubator . . .

Some of these tracks describe a story or series of vignettes, sometimes for sci-fi & related content, various published media.

In the ancient days of yore, a vinyl album had even been produced and distributed (these are now exceedingly rare collector items).  Actually, you don't want to find one of these, as you'll likely terrorize your neighbors if you do.

Formerly from many years of a scientific / tech development background, in academia and private sectors.

The "bio" of my past existence would be way too many paragraphs (perhaps way too distracting, or unlikely), but aside from the aforementioned years, I was also inclined to explore the aesthetic "rules" of alternative forms of nature in virtual artificial ecosystems, spawning genetic and fractal algorithms, and other such obscure esoterica.  This was at an earlier time when 3D graphic rendering was still in its embryonic stages of evolution.

An unknown fate awaits, but is rapidly approaching. 
The clock is ticking, a sense of urgency is in the air . . .

Impatient Clock

Sprouting forth from the remnants of a past cityscape, Urbania evolves into a different type of newly spawned technoscape, with its unique amalgam of lifeforms, synthoids, and tribal entities.

Brief sojourn into a nocturnal dreamscape . . .
   A transdimensional portal suddenly appears, beckoning.  1:42
        The journey begins, but returns to the nocturnal dreamscape once again.  5:49
             Last vestiges of the journey completely fade away, into the mist of the dreamscape.  6:40

Nocturnal Reverie

An unrecognized answer appears, for a question yet to be encountered . . . 
For the first 3 minutes, a mystic "something" is queried, then at 3:07, launches into its tribal roots . . . but alas, the quest reemerges at 5:20

Answer Without A Question

La Mission Mystique
Probing into an emergent world where the unlikely becomes the new norm, where the virtual and the real become inseparable.

Nuclear Nematodes

Just beneath the placid surface, a swirling maelstrom of intersecting currents is forming into a formidable vortex.

Swirling Maelstrom

No one will notice, at least not now, 
innocuously blending in with the background, 
its origins are not from here, but this will become its home 
soon enough . . .  

Many of my tracks correlate with a story, or vignettes from within a story.

Sentient Seaweed

Corroded machine ruins, 
their purpose long since forgotten,  
something woke them up, not the machines, 
but the hungry things that suddenly grew out of them...

Awakening

Somewhere along the journey, a glimpse into an unknown civilization suddenly appears . . . maybe it's the future, or maybe it's the past, it's difficult to immediately tell, but what is certain is that its occupants are very different, there is nothing familiar here.

Many of my compositions are correlated with a story, being expressed here with this track.

Somewhere...

Synthoid Sounds, an ever evolving compilation of tracks spawned from the synth lab incubator . . . 
emergent soundscapes, beats and rhythms, motifs and melodies, manifest from this uncharted terrain of synthoid encountered experiences.  

Much of this has been for sci-fi & technosynth related podcasts and content, various published media.
The range also encompasses Techbeat, Liquid, Ambient, Indie Dance, Atmospheric . . .
Some of these tracks describe a story or scenario, a series of vignettes rendered into an expressive form.

Formerly from a scientific / tech development background, in academia and private sectors.

For many years, I spent endless hours designing and building my own synth engines (formerly an engineer with one of the Lucas Films spinoffs).  Now I spend endless hours creating presets, soundscapes and compositions in my ever evolving synth lab, spawning tracks from the incubator . . . and mystifying the neighbors in the pre-dawn hours.
