I'm a solo musician producing a wide variety of music, from orchestral to industrial to ambient and everything else inbetween... just music to suit my mood, really.
Why this name?
Because it's my real name.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it opens a lot of doors to independent musicians and producers to share their music
with others without having a record deal.
Would you still sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes. Oh yes. Get in touch! :)
Band History:
Well, I've been writing music since about 1995 when I first got my hands on Protracker for my Atari STe. Then I started using Modplug Tracker on a PC in 1998, and then finally bought Propellerhead Reason in 2001 which I've been using to write music since.
Your influences?
I'm inspired by anything I like - which is a lot. Favourite artists currently include
Hans Zimmer, Alpha Conspiracy, Tool and Aphex Twin.

"created from an extensive sonic palet, this artist brings the sounds from other worlds to you so that you can go on a journey to far-away-near places in your listening adventure..." Luke Etyrnal weaves a dark, ethereal web, The digital sequencing is phenomenal with dark, rich synth tones entwined with steady drum and bass. Kj's Spydrz is digital purity at its finest.
I like the digital piano thrown in as a good attention grabber. It helps add an organic warm feeling to the cold dreamscape the rest of the melody creates. This helps build a pleasant tension between the synth and piano. This is very reminiscent of Trent Reznor's use of digital piano in his tracks from the Lost Highway Soundtrack.
The vocoded voice samples help provide an eery touch. These samples also help provide an organic feel. Even with all the processing heaped on them, it helps add a human touch. Working with electronic music myself, I can appreciate what a feat this is.
Anytime you are working with exclusively electronic music, your engineering needs to be flawless. This track is no exception. I don't know what kind of set up was used in recording Kj's Spydrz but it works really well. Every track is clean and well balanced out. I hear a subtle panning effect that is used perfectly. To often, panning effects are used without paying attention to the tempo of the rest of the piece. It's good to review tech head music. I know you have a great appreciation for good engineering as do I.
All in all, Kj's Spydrz is a good solid foundation to work from and a strong stand alone piece of electronic music. The possibilities are endless here. Keep up the great work.
" I found ["Hard Left" by luke etyrnal to be] very kinetic. I was sorry when it ended. It was rich in texture and yet not gimmicky or affected and obtuse. I like the way it builds to climaxes within climaxes without feeling unresolved. The thunder toward the end was a surprise and yet blended well with the entire piece. I was thinking it would be perfect for Starwars or even a Hitchcock theme. Not as driving and hard edged as a James Bond themes, but loads of dramatic tension. The rain, the door closing, [the car keys, and the car squeeling away] -- all exceptionally well done - helps to build visual pictures within an aural feast.
Mystical electronic tones mesh well with subtle keyboard and guitar melodies. The Illinois native's mysterious music tickles your senses and enhances your aural awareness. " | | |

Location: Seattle, WA, USA.
Genre: Electronica : Ambient
This is not a band. This is one person.
Q. Why this name?
A. It's from my favorite translation of the Tao Te Ching.
Q. Do you play live?
A. I have a strong love/hate relationship with playing live, so I do it very rarely. I did a
gig back in the early 1980s with two friends where we provided live ambient guitar music for a nature-photo slide show at a state park. I remember that evening very fondly for some reason.
Q. How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
A. I like to think it makes available music that otherwise does not (or will not) get a chance
to be heard.
Q. Would you still sign a record contract with a major label?
A. Only on my terms.
Band History:
I have been doing ambient and electronic music since the mid to late 1970s. I moved to Chicago in 1980 and was a founding member of Distracted, a rather odd pop band, and Scarlet Architect, a three-person electronic band. I also do more "pop-ish" electronic music under the name "Neuron."
Your influences?
Beatles, XTC, Eno, Kraftwerk, Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Kate Bush, Yellow Magic Orchestra The Eno influence is strongest in the material I compose under the "nonbeing" name.
Favorite spot?
I rather like Amsterdam. Seattle, where I live, is quite nice also.
Equipment used:
My gear setup varies quite a bit, so it would be somewhat pointless to put anything down.

"I read The Age of Spiritual Machines by Ray Kurzweil, in which the author chronicles the history of technology and tells of a future where computers aren't necessarily thinking
for themselves, but are in essence becoming more a part of our physical being. Several years later, the title had stuck with me and offers a good explanation for how I view this project.
Although the machine isn't spiritual, the music could be perceived as such.
Conceived as The Sleeping Pill (1996), upon graduating to MP3.com, the name changed to In Search of Sleep (1997-2000). The differences between Small Dot Complex and the former are evident, as are the similarities. Both draw on the same conceptual, creative approach
while using different tools. Beneath the swirl of synths you'll hear layers of sounds that relax
and stimulate simultaneously. Introspection is the key to unlocking the music of Small Dot Complex. A new breed of ambient music is being attempted. Free from the constraints of techno music, creating something that is personally philosophical to the composer
as well as meaningful for the listener is the underlying agenda. I have tried to create something that is beautiful and ugly, bright and dark." | | | "Dominik Stefan" <dominik18s@yahoo.com> Location: Dominik supplied the as yet untitled piano piece for the Skyline DVD | | |  Mikhalt (Experimental)
