Alien Skin

A Kaleidoscope of Electronic Melancholia

About Me

Alien Skin is the electronic music project of long time Real Life keyboardist and composer, George Pappas.

For anyone unaware, Australian synthesizer band Real Life is internationally renowned for smash 1980s hits such as 'Send me an Angel', 'Catch me I'm Falling' and the classic debut album, 'Heartland'. The band is still active.

Don't Open Till Doomsday

Issued in 2008, Don't Open Till Doomsday, is my first CD release after a number of albums and tours with Real Life.

As Alien Skin, I describe the album as a kaleidoscope of electronic melancholia; a work of dark ambience that speaks to alienation, loss and despair underpinned with my own strand of contagious melodies and textured electronics.

The tracks above are brief previews from Don't Open Till Doomsday including an unreleased memory from days of future past.
