Artist description This is my playground. If you want music that's guaranteed to make sense and be fun to listen to, check out my other band, Cooper (the cooper here...stupid other bands with the same name). This is where I experiment with all the styles and ideas which are deemed too wierd for Cooper. My experiments range from minimalist acoustic emo to intelligent dance music to hardcore techno to industrial to videogame music.

Artist History I started writing at the age of 13 when I discovered the .mod format which allowed me to compose on the computer without owning a synth. Back then I called myself "Splyt" because I was torn between my rock background and my newfound home in electronica. This continued into my next incarnation "Cosmik Druid" aka "druidd" which frequently combined the two elements, and at one point had members other than myself with aspirations of live performance. The band was soon disbanded because of disorganization, and once more I changed the name to Insomnia. The name has progressed to "the insomnia project" simply because insomnia was already taken here. As far as I'm concerned, they're the same thing.
