Previous Pseudonyms / Aliases: Emul8tor, Sonic Rage, Euphorium, Sensory Mode

He originally produced and performed under the “Emul8tor” pseudonym as well as others each with their own distinct style and persona. Emul8tor was a film & video game score / soundtrack (E.g. Sega Megadrive) inspired – Hard, Dark & Progressive Electronic / Dance Music project.

The music was influenced by retro Beat ‘Em Ups & Brawler fighting games. He has been on the frontier of the underground music scene and entertainment scene for over 15 years, forming and being in Grunge, Hardcore and Metal bands from the late 1990’s up until the early 2000’s.
While experimenting with new sounds and frequencies in bands and on solo projects he found himself drawn to old school Techno Trance.

He spent over a decade (while still being in bands and working on side projects) experimenting with Synthesizers, Electronic sounds and recording various instruments and sounds in nature while also being influenced by pioneers of old school underground techno – “2Unlimited”, “Technotronic” and “Moby” to name a few.

He pushed the boundaries in the Dark Electro, Industrial EBM & IDM music scene back in the early 1990’s and has produced music in various genres. Emul8tor has pioneered various sounds since he started producing and recording music.

His unique sound and methodical style of formulaic song construction will continue to develop as he learns and experiments with new sounds and techniques pushing his limits beyond creativity.

He produced, remixed & performed more chilled, melodic and  “euphoric” type of music under Euphorium and Sensory Mode
