Hi, I'm Geoff. You may remember me from such acts as tenek, Alien 6, Mesh, The Nine and Glasshouse!
In short, my current projects are: * tenek * Alien 6 * live keyboards and vocals for Mesh I'm a full time musician. My current projects are Alien Six, tenek and writing production music for US publisher Black Toast Music in genres such as Drum 'n' Bass, House and Electroclash. Some of which have been used on shows such as 'Access Hollywood', 'Without a Trace' and various releases of Konami's Dance Dance Revolution games.
A Brief History... In 1990 I started a project called GLASSHOUSE with Ian Davies which spawned 4 demo tapes, 'A New Direction', 'Secret Life', 'The Real World' and 'Like an Alien'. The highlight of this project was when we were asked to support Gary Numan on 2 tours in '91 and '92.
Pete Steer left the band in '96 after contributing with songwriting and guitar for 3 years. It was decided to continue but with a different name and attitude towards our song writing. Glasshouse became The Nine and in '97 signed to underground synthpop label A Different Drum releasing several singles and 2 albums, 'Native Anger' in '98 and 'Dreamland' in 2000. Both albums are available for download on iTunes. During that period I also had the opportunity to remix a track for 80's artist Alphaville called 'Soul Messiah'. Best known for their 1984 hit 'Big in Japan'.
In 2002 I decided to venture off and start a solo project called Alien#six13. For once I was writing music to no particular agenda and the result of which is 'Establishing Alpha', released on ADD in 2004. Also available on iTunes. From this release came 'C Squared' and 'Mello' which were used by Konami for their X-Box release of Dance Dance Revolutions Ultramix 2.
After the release of 'Establishing Alpha' I met up again with Pete Steer and we formed the latest project Alien Six. In early 2005 Laura Cyganik joined the team to contribute as vocalist and songwriter.
The fruits of this project can be heard on the Alien Six profile or the website www.alien6.netAlso as Alien Six we have recently remixed Mesh's single, 'Crash' and co-produced the 'Slightly Deranged' EP for Tik and Tok.
In March 07 I was flown over to Arizona to head an album project aimed at the Anime and DDR audiences. The result of my visit is, 'Hope', which is available through Anirave Music LLC.
If you're a particular fan of electronic music between '78 and '83 you may like to check out John Costello's profile. For a long time John has always wanted to create his own interpretations of some of his favourite music from that 5 year span. He approached me to help him achieve this and the results can be heard on his profile - here. You can also find his own original work - here.
My latest project with old music pal - Pete Steer - is tenek. It's a fusion of 80's synth with contemporary influences. We've just released a self funded ep with 4 tracks. If you like your synth music slightly dark and with a good melody then check out the tenek profile here and then buy one!
