Artist description English composer Des O'Connor and American poet Ashley Alquine team up to create aural landscapes from surreal vocals and experimental beats. Living on different continents hasn't hindered their ability to create music, thanks to the alchemy of the Internet. Des labels them the First Transplanetary Band(tm), and they collaborate with file transfers and arcane digital voodoo. The band has currently just completed contributing to the musical score of a UK channel 4 documentary film called 3's a Crowd, due out this fall, and the band is also working on its soon to be released CD, Resurrection.

Artist History While Des has been composing for many years and has a lot of his previous work showcased on the internet, the duo of Lazerous Syndrome was formed in August of 2001 through a chat conversation. Des found Ash in the "Books and Literature" chatroom on Yahoo and discovered that she was a poet. He asked her to write lyrics for Requiem of an Ancient Sun, and then discovered that she could sing as well. Hence, she has sung on many of the musical projects produced. They bring their sound together by file transfers. Des sends her audio files and she composes lyrics and then records her singing and sends the raw vocals back to Des so that he can mix them into the music. It's been a very successful venture resulting in their being hired to score a documentary, and many other exciting opportunities will soon come about.
