About Me

Pulse Plant is currently Djing and playing live psytrance @ Dark Raves, Tokyo CyberMonster, Elektronix Parties and other events in the Toronto area.
Paul is a Toronto based electronic musician focusing on dark driving beats. Under the name Pulse Plant, Paul uses past band influences and blends them into his own dark version of Psy-trance. Initially starting out in the early 1990's under the band name Genetic Disorder he experimented in gothic and industrial musical styles, now with the surge of techno music Paul decided to explore this genre.
Psy-trance seemed to be a happy median for Paul because he could incorporate his old passion for industrial into a new style of music. Pulse Plant uses driving beats and arpeggiator patterns combined with strange atmospheric sounds to create his music. Unexpected sounds and unusual tempo changes are also thrown in the mix to enthrall the listener and force them to constantly listen for different layers in the music.
Live shows are more of a concept than a series of separate songs, thus the listener is taken through a variety of moods building up, and breaking down but never faulting from a hard driving beat that is aimed at the dance floor. Pulse Plant plays insturments in realtime and uses the mixing techniques of a DJ when changing songs. Beat mixes, fades and eq manipulation are all part of the live set, making it more of a spontaneous performance than a predetermined set. Pulse Plant has also been Djing full-on psy and progressive trance in the Toronto area.
