Artist History
Jason Ward: Started composing late 1993, early 1994 on an Atari 1040 ST with a Roland JV-30 as his sidekick. His first release was High Albedo way back when. Since then he has studied various forms of music theory and many forms of digital music technology. Over time he has accumulated a decent little home studio. He composed little between 1994 and 1999, the base for 'Flight of the Imagination' and 'Magic Girl' being the only 2 songs to arise in that time. Since 1999 however he has arranged, composed, and released over 40 new titles, many of which have gotten good to amazing reviews. |
