my biography

I've been composing electronica since childhood, and finally about 10 years ago started the process of going professional with it. I'm very active at RealWorldremixed.com which is Peter Gabriel's brainchild. If you'd like to hear my page over there it's at:

I now have a free EP available at
http://20kbps.sofapause.ch/releases.htm
and a free maxi-single featuring Norbert Croonenberg and Heather Anderson at http://ouim.net/releases/ouimnet036/
Happy listening
Steve E aka Synthetic

Here's a recent music video I made to a Synthetic tune called Underwater

Title: Dancing Snowflakes: Description: This is available on the higher bit-rate version of my Winter EP available for free at: http://ouim.net/releases/ouimnet053/ This song features tasty stretched analog synth and boy's choir mixed with various drum loops and even a snow shovel snare. This song gets pretty trippy around the 3:00 mark when the stretched sounds are smash-panned. The guitars in last 1/4 of song are an homage to Cocteau Twins.
Title: AMinorTheory&Synthetic-FlyingDreamNumber7: $Cloudfractal01$; Description: Lights fade in the distance time to lay down and sleep. Feel the heartbeat in a pillow sets the rhythm of the sleep. Dream in blue coming clearer flying through the clouds and above to the blue. Through rain and through sunshine floating in the blue. All is becoming blurry now a pulse is breaking through. Waking to the sunlight and birds outside the room. A higher resolution version can be heard at http://aminortheory.com
Title: Del Fiume Po (Featuring Heather Anderson & Norbert Croonenberg): Description: This song is part of a collaboration between Synthetic, Heather Anderson and Norbert Croonenberg aka Have Mercy. Some special thanks to Spinmeister and Loveshadow for advice and support.
Title: Watermark: Description: A little dance number with lead vocals by a no-budget natural voice reader. Demon Seed meets OK Computer.
Title: Fresh Air: Description: Made to make feel like traveling a coastal highway in a convertible. The sun is warm, the breeze is cool and the ocean is always in view. Inspired by Kraftwerk and New Musik. 120 bpm or 60 mph

Pegasus | about 1 month ago: Interesting atmospheric music. I liked the air in Dancing Snowflakes. In FlyingDreamNumber7 the sound stretching is carried out very skillfully. Best regards!
a real mf | 2 months ago: thanks..... nice stuff you make....i voted for DFP......

peace
Subliminal | 2 months ago: It's always worth a try to combine two things that don't work on their own. And the Fripp & Eno connection most probably comes from the Frippertronicesque nature of the eBow guitar pieces, which was intentional. It is always nice when people recognise such an intention. Thanks!
Subliminal | 3 months ago: EVPs? Sounds interesting already. And collaborating with HaveMercy and Colab sounds even more interesting. Another gathering of talent. Get well soon.

Michel.

ccDuck | 7 months ago: Hi there! I was profile-surfing, and came across you... I have to tell you, "Watermark" really made me smile, I'd been toying with making SAM the lead singer on a track myself! Great stuff, and love the sense of humor evident.
juan david | 7 months ago: HEY¡ CHECK MY NEW TWO SONGS "AMANTE" AND "SE SU NOMBRE" FOR MY FIRST ALBUM (IN

PREPRODUCTION) AND COMMENT TNX
Richard Thomas | 8 months ago: Hi Steve, how are you today? Thanks for your friendship at Mi7. Came by to listen and vote. Quite a task: so much talent about here. I'm particularly fond of your 'Del Fiume…' It's the kind of music I myself never would make, but which I do admire. Like 'Fresh Air' it's very pleasurable to listen to. I gave both compositions 10 points.
Hope you'll find some time to listen to my songs and vote for me…
Succes and good luck with the contest!
Greetings from the low lands of Holland,
Richard
Metricks | 8 months ago: Always a pleasure listening to your great works! Wish you always that the inspiration be with you! :)
spinmeister | 9 months ago: Nice work on your remix for DJ Rkod! Very well done indeed! I hope things are well with you all around!
Drone | 9 months ago: Hey! Thanks for the add! Like your style!
Fireman | 10 months ago: Thank you synthetic1 for taking your time to listen and for your kind words. I really appreciate it.
Subliminal | 10 months ago: Hello Steve,

A good remix of a good song (I'm ofcourse referring to your Rubber Duck...eh Dub remix of DJ Rkod's Pulse). Very nice. Good luck in that contest. Are you planning to remix the other songs too?

Best wishes,

Michel.
Fireman | 10 months ago: Lovely flyingdream mix ... in fact there is a lot of dreams here ... I do believe you`re always dreaming ... beautiful soundscapes and fresh air.
I too have a tune about dreaming and I have just reproduced, remastered and reloaded all my songs. If you have the time to spare please come over,listen and tell me what you think.
Take care!
spinmeister | 10 months ago: love the joint effort between you and colab, too - both of your touches are there and work together exquisitely well!
colab | 10 months ago: Hey Steve - thanks for your comments - really appreciate it.
Funny you should mention Jon Hassel - I was a huge fan way back when of his collaborations with David Sylvian and later Stina Nordenstam. Thanks for reminding me. :)
online now Mindmovie | 10 months ago: Just left a comment on Colab's profile - I really love the collaboration you did with him - a great tune !! My honest compliments to both of you !!
nanotec | 10 months ago: You sound like a bleedin' cockney, big up bruv.
Wow look at my beautiful mug, two on da trot.
nanotec | 11 months ago: Watermark, kewel choon dude, just voted for it, good luck mate.
