Josh "...The musical landscape and signposts will doubtless appear familiar but you'll soon lose yourself in it quite happily, not caring that you don't really know where you are."- Mick Mercer (Review of The Forgotten Age)"...Indeed, the rhythmic machine sounds and classically-based melodies intertwined throughout Vernian Process's music give the artist's soundscapes the feel of a fin-de-siecle Victorian age poised between a new age of thundering steam engines and the traditional sensibilities of classical composers."- Neal L. Dodge ~ The Clockwork WastelandPRESS RELEASE - 3/06 Formed in the winter of 2003, Vernian Process is a cinematic journey through a fictional Victorian world. One that takes the listener through foreboding Industrial complexes, angelic cathedrals, misty cobblestone alleyways, ancient forests, war torn ruins, deep undersea caves, rotting clock towers, and all manner of timeless dreamscapes.Taking the thematic elements of the romantic 19th century visionary Jules Verne, the young man behind this illusionary world; Joshua A. Pfeiffer has created an aural atmosphere that encompasses all manner of styles and genres. Influenced by such varied artists as Danny Elfman, In the Nursery, Dead Can Dance, Maurice Ravel, Massive Attack, Gary Numan, Edvard Grieg, Joy Division, and Gustav Mahler to name a few. Maestro Pfeiffer has created a truly unique enigma in a sea of mediocrity.With two self released L.P.s, 2004's Discovery, and 2006's The Forgotten Age and an upcoming third E.P., Vernian Process is poised to storm the modern musical landscape. Heralding a new era of creativity and imagination.Discography:
2003 - Steam Age Symphony E.P.
2004 - Discovery L.P.
2005 - Revolution E.P.
2006 - The Forgotten Age L.P.
