Band Members: Inspired by Tangerine Dreams soundtrack music, decapolis was conceived in the late 1980's. Later taking up synths, he studied Jazz piano for 3 years at Ogilvy Music School before continuing on his own. In the late '90s, he produced and recorded 2 self-released cds, the first of which, Decapolis-the River, won an ASCAP special award in 1998. his recording style is somewhat different than that of most others because most of his music is improvised and recorded live to 2 track, sometimes requiring many takes for each piece. Along with Tangerine Dream, decapolis' influences range widely from Vangelis to Steely Dan and even Classical music like Mozart and Faure.
