About Me

Hello Friends!
Welcome to my second Cyber Home. In case you don't know me yet, here is a little bit of information:
I was born on February 11 1976 in Leningrad, Russia and moved to the Silicon Valley in 1991. I have been making music since I was 12 years old, creating silly tracks in the style of Rock, Punk, Gothic, Industrial, Pop, Noise, Techno, and eventually Psychedelic Trance. I bought my first equipment for producing this last genre in 1998 and made my first track in 2000. So far I have released four albums under the name Penta : "Pentafiles" , "Funraiser" , "Horn Please" , and now "Portuguese Abduction" . You can also find dozens of compilations with my releases. The most notable ones are "Seismic Mood" and "Jitter Glow" from AuraQuake Music , our San Francisco and Azores Islands based label.
Apart from trance I do some graphic design and funny projects like Boom Festival Radio and You Tube Broadcasts from trance festivals like Universo Paralello in Brazil.
Azorsky - new electro project from Penta
2008 is the year my electro project Azorsky comes out of the closet. Check out the Azorsky MySpace page!
