On the release:

"TRI:.OBYTE is an artist / musician experimenting within Electronic, Ambient, Classical, Avant Garde, and Noise music, preferring to not operate solely within a specific genre. TRI:.OBYTE uses an array of synthesizers (both analogue and digital / modern and vintage), odd circuit-bent instruments, and varied experimental techniques in performance and production to create textures in music which conjure a feeling or mental image within sound that is simultaneously primitive and futuristic . TRI:.OBYTE seeks to communicate intelligent emotional messages within instrumentation, sound design and composition, to manipulate and occasionally ‘break’ sound in order to create an engaging and sometimes challenging experience and environment that is rewarding to the listener.

TRI:.OBYTE insists that he explore sounds of his own imagination, and approach composition in a manner that forces him to start each project from a fresh perspective. His new album, FORGOTTEN CAMBRIAN CREATURES, is evidence of these personal artistic demands. The music builds in unexpected ways, and combines layers of sound and patterns that are unconventional. TRI:.OBYTE uses haunting and disjunct melodies, rhythmic tension, and harmonic dissonance as trademarks of his own sound. From the simplicity and vivid imagery in the opening track, “Beetle Annamite”, to the sweeping scope and immersive world within his magnum opus, “Conflicted Stargazer”, to the riveting sonic seance that summons “Tuvan Demon Sniper Scat”, and the other-worldly environments that envelop the listener in “The Butterfly Effect” and “The Shape of a Rain Drop,” the release of emotional tension orchestrated by TRI:.OBYTE on this debut can only result in the nearly apocalyptic prayer of “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep” a song that for this artist, embodies an undercurrent of tension and an outpouring of grace in facing the turbulent times in which we live."

Some happy swing on a pile of Casio keyboards

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Mar 19, 2012

"I wanted to play some really happy music on the small Casio keyboard. And this melody could qualify as at least cheerfull.
"Stargazer" was a hit for Neil Diamond in the mid 1970's and I had it on an Ampex tape. Unfortunately that particular reel suffered from the sticky-tape-syndrome so I had to get rid of it. But I found the melody online and found out how to play it using the collection of Casio keyboards that I have."

LIVE @ EMEAPP FEAT. SCHOOL OF ROCK HOUSE BAND, FORT WASHINGTON, PA (6-28-23)

video upload by EMEAPP

Starts with the Minimoog, followed by lots of ARP QUADRA in this one. EMEAPP is a synth museum. You can find additional posts featuring them here.

"It does our hearts good to see the younger generations take an interest in the classic tunes from decades past and add their own flair to them. Here for your eyes and ears is the house band from the Fort Washington, PA chapter of the School Of Rock, performing a quartet of 70s classics (Frankenstein by The Edgar Winter Group, Have A Cigar by Pink Floyd, Hydra by Toto and Stargazer by Rainbow). Our good friend and School Of Rock musical director Mike Kiker (check out his INSIDE THE MIX: Rick Wright video on our channel, link below) guided these kids through the setlist and it was an awesome experience to see them light up our vintage keys and synths, amps and drum kit which added an extra layer of sonic authenticity to their performances.

You can find us at www.emeapp.org where we invite you to join us as a FREE member."

A Taste of Venom Demo M-Audio Avid

YouTube via FlakeStick | January 30, 2011 | Update: video re-uploaded below.

"This is a quick-n-dirty demo showing my first patches on M-Audio's new synth, the Venom. The Venom is a sound designer's dream, it lends itself to all kinds of music. Basses, strings, sci-fi, ambient, trance, trip-hop...and on-and-on. Editing the sounds makes all sorts of happy accidents possible.

All original patches in this vid are by me:
Stringer - a vintage string synth sound w/ phaser, much better than the "70's String" factory patch I must say.
JunoThis - A first, not-quite-there, attempt at Juno sounds w/ chorusing. Again better than the factory patch.
Wobbler - This is a recreation of a patch I did on the Oberheim Matrix. Sounds great on the Venom!
NebulaTrek - Inspired by the ominous sound from the first Star Trek motion picture.
StarGazer - Something completely new to me!
DeepBass - A deep house bass sound.
Eurotrashd - A sensational driving trance sound, whether triggered in one-hits or arpeggiated.

Recorded straight into Macbook w/ no additional effects - ALL VENOM."
