The synthetic dream foundation coallesced as an experimental music band during the harsh, freezing seasons of late 2003. Though in that short time frame has gardened a pallete of sound which is comparable to the glittering of phosphorescent life on the bottom of a cold, blackened sea. From harsh, brooding, mechanical beats to dreamy, neo-classical mirages, and dark ambient masterworks which shift through and absorb cold, alien landscapes. TSDF is not limited by genre, but instead compelled by the infinite possibilities that electronic advancements bestow upon the musical and artistic forms.
I have
been involved with just about every
aspect of art
since a very
young age.
Though none has held as crippling
an addiction as music has. This is
an oddity in itself to a degree, as
no one else in my family
is
involved w/ any of the arts. I fully
introduced myself to these fantasy
excursions on my own, so I generally
consider myself a self taught
musician and artist,
though I did begin receiving
professional lessons at
the
high school/college
level. I just recently
graduated
from college with a B.A. in music composition
and a B.A. in Psychology.
My
main
instruments are piano and percussion
though I play a great many more. I
am very interested in blending
older traditions of art and music
with the technological
tools of the modern world. I am
particularly interested in Timbre at
the moment and love exploring sound
synthesis/design.
TSDF has historically
been a solo
music project of mine, but in the
last year I have begun collaborating
with many singers and I
believe
I will continue to work in this
manner for atleast the immediate
future. If you are a
vocalist
(particularly
classically
trained vocalists) please get in
contact with me about sending a demo
of your
work to my studio, if you would like
to be considered for future
compositions. I am also currently
considering collaboratiions with instrumentalists
who play western orchestral
wind or string instruments
and people who play eastern wind or
string instruments.
I have also begun to be contacted by quite a few individuals who have wanted me to compose scores for their films and tv ads, do sound design for their films, as well as people interested in using my visual artwork for various projects, so I have been expanding into those areas in the past year (writing this in mid 2007)
