Steb Sly

Steve Sim (aka "Steb Sly") has been producing Electronic music for close to 20 years!From his humble beginnings in the early 80's living outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada making "pause tapes" (if you're not sure what that means, look it up in your favorite internet search engine - it's an early hiphop "beat" creation technique), Steve has always been fascinated by sounds and how to create them. While most of his friends were getting their first set of drums or learning guitar, Steve was learning how to use a drum machine and sampler while "peeking and poking" around on his trusty Commodore 64 trying to make it blip and bleep!Now, Steve finally has turned that hobby into a great career! With vinyl releases on several respected techno labels (Metamorphic Recordings US, 240 Volts UK and Itiswhatitis Recordings Canada) and a full length cd with his band "Freshbread" on Warner Canada/HRM Records it's a wonder Steve finds time to write music outside of his full time job as a sound designer for Edmonton, Alberta, Canada based BioWare Corp! Steve spends his days making sound effects for hit video game titles like "Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic" and "Jade Empire" and his nights "looking for the perfect beat".Steve has been a full time composer and sound designer for video games for close to 7 years now with 8 titles currently under his belt with several high profile publishers (including Microsoft, THQ, Sega, Atari, Lucasarts) and is loving every minute of it - even the occasional 18 hour day to get that next title out the door sounding great!
