Artist History I have worked with electronic music for about 12 years. This started with an 80s dance band that had a small amount of local success. I continued to work on 80s music, very slowly, until I realized it was 1997. At that point I woke up and started this project, and am now finishing up the songs for the first AcEmU album.

Group Members A solo effort by Michael Moncur, with occasional collaborations and collusions.

Instruments Roland D-110 and S-330; Alesis Quadrasynth and D4; Native Instruments Reaktor; an Ibanez bass guitar; and various other bits of hardware and software

Albums The self-titled first album will arrive sometime in the year 2000.
