Neuronium is the artist name and a Trademark of Michel Huygen. Based in
Barcelona, Huygen created Neuronium Records in 2002 to release his own
music as well as that of other fine musicians. But the name Neuronium
first appeared in 1976 as the name of the group Huygen founded.
Neuronium's first album was "Quasar 2C361" and was issued in 1977 by EMI-Harvest. Neuronium has undergone some personnel changes and, since 1982, has been a solo project of Huygen's with the occasional collaboration. One collaboration was with Vangelis in 1981 on the Spanish television program "Musical Express." In May 1986 Michel Huygen was inaugurated by Her Majesty Queen Sofia of Spain as the person in charge of the department of electronic music at the Center of Art Queen Sofia of Madrid. Neuronium's music has been referred to as psychotronic, New Age, ambient and space music. Click on the name or photo above to go to the artist's web site. |

The Tao of Zero Ohms (literally: way of no resistance) is
to listen while letting go. Music possesses the capacity
for awakening a deeper part of ourselves which lies
within. Zero Ohms (Richard J. Roberts) is driven to find
this bountiful experience with open eyes, ears, and heart,
seeking to find himself and the golden thread of truth
within. From this, he is compelled into expression. A
writer, painter, musician, teacher and producer, Roberts
uses a range of instrumentation; woodwinds from around the
world and electronics in a versatile palette of sonic
colors. His sound is at once ancient and contemporary.
For the listener, the golden thread can be more easily discovered via the clarion music of Richard J. Roberts. To him, the way is clear; to listen while letting go. This is The Tao of Zero Ohms. |

Born in Eschwege, Germany, Wolfram Spyra is a composer of
electronic music, sound artist and inventor. Sound is his
art form. He has worked for film, television, theatre, dance
and as sound designer.
Spyra began his career in the early 1990s constructing soundscapes and installations around Germany. He has collaborated with a wide range of visual artists, musicians, producers, and DJs. He has released several albums, starting in 1995 with "Homelistening Is Killing Clubs." Spyra's focus is on electronic music, seamlessly blending interesting samples, synthesizers, percussion and other elements together in unique ways. While sometimes experimental, most of his music has a certain accessibility in terms of the rhythmic and melodic components. Though frequently associated with the retro or Berlin School sound pioneered by Klaus Schulze and others, he uses modern ambient electronica elements extensively, creating his own rich sound that defies easy categorization.

Modulator Experimental Synthesis Project (Modulator ESP) is Jez
Creek from Nottingham in the UK. He performs improvised music
that explores the boundaries of dark ambient, drone, Berlin School
sequencing, and noise using modular synthesis, real-time sampling,
sound manipulation, and live looping.
Modulator ESP has been described variously as "vintage synth overload to propel you into the outer reaches of the cosmos" and "one man will descend to (this) earth in a hail of analogue synth tones; called upon from the singular consciousness of John Carpenter and Vangelis - like a 2046 dystopian dream with the optimism of Jean Michael Jarre, and his penguins." When Modulator ESP discovered that there was more to EM than TD, Jarre, Pickford and Shreeve by finding bands like Arc, RMI, Redshift, Airsculpture, and Arcane, bands that were doing a more retro-styled improvisational take on EM, it came as a revelation to him. One of the reasons he'd left the band he was in was because he wanted to do something a bit more freeform. He knew he still wanted to play live but without playing along to pre-programmed, structured backing tracks. Things started to snowball when he discovered certain synthesizers, both hardware and software, step sequencing, and delay processors. Modulator ESP loves playing synths because he loves the electronic, synthetic, other worldly nature of the sounds. This makes Ambient, Berlin School EM the best style for his interests. He plans to stretch the boundaries by incorporating some of his progressive influences. Click on the name or photo above to go to the artist's web site. |

Terje Winther has been making electronic music with synthesizers since the
1970s. He records albums, performs concerts, and is involved in building a
community for analog synthesizer aficionados in Norway. He is a founding
member of the band WintherStormer.
Terje Winther's musical background is in the gray area between modern serious music and experimental rock. He received his degree in composition and conducting from the Norwegian State Academy of Music in 1986. Through his work as an arranger and a composer, he has developed a wide range of practical experience in the music community. How music relates to non-musical realities, the relationship between music and other arts, and the function of music have always been of concern to Winther. His search for expanding the horizons of the music experience through content and communication has lead him to choose a wide range of expression in which contradictory elements become fused into uniform compositions. He is a member of The Norwegian Composers' Society. During 1992-93 he was the chairman of The New Music Composers' Group in Norway. Click on the name or photo above to go to the artist's web site. |
