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.

Maurice Ravel  composed his original version of "Bolero" for the famous Russian actress and dancer, Ida Rubinstein.
Ms Rubinstein was an iconic goddess of the stage, a perfect match for the spectacular composition Ravel had created for her.  Since then various iterations and versions of Bolero inspired compositions have appeared (Jeff Beck's superb rendition of a Bolero inspired creation being among the most well known in modern times).

Sidereal Sojourn

Remastered
"Here" is a relative concept.  
What appears to be "here" could actually be somewhere completely different, depending on which dimension set one might have access to.

You Are Not Here

Remastered
Linear time, usually observed as a monodimensional, monodirectional continuum, is not necessarily confined to that manifestation, as can sometimes be experienced in our dreams.

Twisted Time

Remastered . . . now on Spotify
Meandering into the metaverse, immersed into the milieu, peering into the corners of various virtual venues and obscure locales . . .

Metaverse Milieu

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.

La Mission Mystique

.Out of the ground they came, huge, hungry, carnivorous, and they are multiplying  2:15
Spawned from the nuclear waste site no one paid much attention to . . . until now  5:55
they're everywhere . . .

Nuclear Nematodes

Enter the labyrinth, 1:32, navigating its mystery, 2:30, for a portal at the other end . . .
but it keeps changing, morphing into something else, 3:24.
Various portals beckon, 4:22, eventually the portal of departure comes into view 6:23, but remnants of the previous encounters are still present.

Morph Matrix

Apparent time is only what it appears to be at a given moment.
A very short intro leads the traveler into a seemingly stable timeline, but contortions of space/time are undulating just below that apparent surface veneer  . . .

Hidden Time

Beckoning, spongy little morsels, these are no ordinary marshmallows   0:12
Only moments after ingesting, something strange begins to happen   0:40
They're alive, glowing, growing, mutating, tentacles reaching out   5:25
 . . . the journey begins, out into a very different parallel world  6:13

Mystic Marshmallows

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...

Stepping through the void, into uncharted territory in a perpetual state of flux, various beings are there, not quite visible yet, but their presence can be heard, and felt.

Synthoid Sounds

Stepping Through The Void

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.  
In days of yore, a vinyl album had been produced and distributed

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.
