About Me

I began producing music in 1997 experimenting with samples and beats trading sleep during the end of highschool in exchange for electronic music. My goals during that period were to create music from scratch. I.E. synthesising samples from scratch using equations and sequencing drum beats and using a minimum of pre-produced samples and rhythms. As time progressed and tried different techniques and eventually created a collection of approximately 130 songs. Creating and recording demos onto cassette tape I showed it to friends. As highschool finished I progressed to burning songs to CDs and giving them to friends. In 2001 I transferred all the files to a new computer and did live performance of a soundscape for a stage play. Soon after my hard drive crashed and the backups I did have turn out to be on rather unstable floppy discs.All the source files, composition files, samples and output files were lost or damaged. All that was left was an audio CD that contained 18 of my better tracks. There are another 2 CDs floating around in the ether that have some earlier songs on but they have never managed to return to me.
The songs posted on here at the moment labelled 97-01 Final Transmission have been salvaged from that period.
I began DJing live in 2006 with IZAD (International Zombie Awareness Day) and I am a resident DJ at Chrome nightclub under the name metaVirus where I have been for almost 3 years now.
I am kicking off a new project soon called Organic Device with DJ IDOC. metaVirus as a solo project will be straight forward DJing and Organic Device will be the new musical output. I post updates on the progress of that project on here.
