Artist History A one man project combining years of rock/punk experience with years of orchestral experience. I create music that you listen to as a song, rather than as a series of cool evolving sounds (while I enjoy that also, I prefer to write songs that depend a little less on technology - oddly enough)". I've played guitar, violin, saxophone, french horn, piano and sang in various choirs and bands over the years. A few years ago my wrist blew out (carpal tunnel syndrome) from playing guitar, rock climbing, using a freakin' computer all day long - I'm not exactly sure why.... I now write electronic music because it is easier on my wrists.

Group Members Steve Allen - it's all me right now, with various levels of input from other musicians.

Instruments Rebirth, Simsynth, Roland MC303, Emu Fizmo, Audity 2000, Korg DW8000, Korg EA1 used on Synaptic Misfires.
