Group Members As a composer, Moore is well grounded in the technological innovations of both the avant garde and academia, yet has a way of utilizing these in contexts which are coherent and decidedly nonacademic. As a poet, his varied influences include existential philosophy, popular media, and beat poetry. At times he poses as a teller of stories, while other times as a deliverer of nonlinear meditations which drift in a stream of obliquely related themes

Albums Lives of the Saints, An Obscure Presence

Press Reviews REVIEW1: Full of multiple implications and shadowy shades of meaning... charged with religious and spiritual insinuations. Saints, angels, demons, the primal, urban eccentrics touched by something otherworldly, the blessed, and the hauntedpopulate the landscape of Moore’s wandering/ wondering composition/text pieces. Titus Levi, Keyboard Magazine, May 1996REVIEW2:Radio theatre as Brian Eno might have conceived it. I’ll be hanged if I understand any of it, but I like it ........ more substantial than Robert Ashley. It is indeed a pleasure to encounter a recording that’s as unique and interesting as the hype claims.Michael Bloom, Boston Rock, August 1995REVIEW3:Moore is a master of building tension. Complex timbres and textures slowly evolve from simple passages and then suddenly resort back to simplicity with a focus once more on the text . . . (He) captures the alienation of urban life in a nondescript American metropolis.Rodney Oakes, Journal SEAMUS, February 1996
