Born in San Diego, California in 1980, Devin Anderson has studied classical piano, composition with Prix de Rome winner Jim Heinke, film music with composer Hummie Mann and attended The Seattle Film Institutes 40 week Total Immersion program. Twice. He also plays bass with former PCP Berzerker members, Eric Hunter and Rod Bailey, in a currently unnamed rock group, and frequently collaborates with his wife, singer and saxophonist J. Marie Anderson.

As a composer, in addition to scoring his own directorial debut, a short entitled ‘Folie à Deux’, he has composed music for several independent pictures, including but not limited to Wisconsin born filmmaker Jack Bennett’s surrealist film ‘Synthetik’ (which received it’s award-winning World Premiere at The Beloit International Film Festival in January of 2008) and Tim Boyd’s film ‘Uniforms’ which starred members of popular group Death Cab for Cutie.

He has provided music for two promotional films produced by The Northwest Film Forum, the regions first and only non-profit organization for the film arts. He has composed concert works in various genres, including solo instrumental works, vocal works, and chamber ensemble, and recently was commissioned to compose for an Art Exhibition of egg tempura painter Nathan DiPietro.

He has just completed musical duties on a short film, again for director Jack Bennett, entitled ‘The Neu Transients’. The picture runs 5 minutes and is a memorial to the City of old now over-run by condos and commercial construction, and uses the Seattle cityscape, the music, and the film’s two lead actors (Benjamin Moody and Astrid Benet) to explore ideas of reflection, space, rhythm and transformation. The work premiered at the Northwest Film Forum as part of their City Symphony program on November 19th.

His score to ‘Folie à Deux’ was awarded the Gold Medal for Excellence at the 2008 Park City Film Music Festival under the catagory Best Original Music - Short Film.

His particular type of electronic-rock (?) songs are strange, somewhat crude, and personal - rough first-take all-to-human vocals, with consistantly surreal lyrics, laid over intricately crafted, orchestral-like backing music and boiled to a simmer.

He hopes to continue being involved in film and music until his death.

OBYONETAOPY's MUSIC makes you think of Andreï TARKOWSKI's movies, the GENIUS VISUAL POET of Russian Cinema whom made : NOSTALGIA & STALKER and so many other Chefs d'Oeuvres.

Listening to OBYONETAOPY's MUSIC, is like watching an Andreï's TARKOWSKI film, we find in OBYONETAOPY's Music, the same PLEASURE, the same COLORS, and we have the same SENSATIONS of MAKING ONE with the UNIVERSAL BEAUTY in HIDING in each little corners of NATURE ...

and as for the FILMS of Andreï TARKOWSKI, the MUSIC of OBYONETAOPY is either LIKED or DISLIKED but there is no LUKE WARM feelings toward it whatsoever......

OBYONETAOPY, like a heart beat in deep connection with his Life in LIFE, emphasize profond vibrations, sculpts the differences of sounds with what they have complementary and he knows very well how to FUSION in Intense an Alliance between the différents instruments with an agility out of the common that curls up with ease the GRAND ŒUVRE of MUSICAL ALCHIMY, so much his albums OPEN seems all in Etherical domaines différents each times.

and all of its ALBUMS could very well be listened on after another, without any BREAKS in its AMBIENT style, most Psychedelic Shamanic...

Thanks for coming round here and listenning....!!!!

I come from California originally. I started really listening to music in my late teens. I started out on great progressive rock like Yes, Spock's Beard and Kansas. Since then, I've developed an interest in many different styles of music. All kinds of stuff from Swirl 360 and Rooney, to early 20th century classical from Stravinsky, to the Beatles, to video game music, movie soundtracks, and a bunch of good music in between.

I started playing keyboard in the late 90's and I've been playing ever since. It's a skill I recommend to every musician, because these days you can emulate just about any sound you would hear in the real world using a synth. I would say my style gravitates towards Dance and Electronica, though my passion is to make it with more heart than those styles usually have. Maby a kinder, gentler electronica? Back in 2003, I finally released my first full length album, Popularity Not Included, using nothing more than my keyboard and some computer software for recording and drum beats.

I love the fact that you can produce a quality musical work these days with basically just a computer and an instrument. For recording software, I use Cool Edit Pro. It works great, and Pro Tools is just too much of a learning curve for me. In 2004, I released my second CD, Regeneration, which was a little more melodic and better sounding than the first. It also features some of my best work to date. Since then, I've been figuring out how I want my third album to be. It's going to be different from anything I've ever done, and I'm excited about it.

Anyways, enjoy all the music, and if you want any of it on your harddrive or portable music device, the songs are pretty cheap to download. Besides the fact that you'll have it on your harddrive if you buy it, it will be a high quality mp3.

Be sure to check some of the other artists out on this site.
I will always believe that the best music out there is the stuff you've got to look for.

Experienced composer and sound designer working in the London area. Written the scores for several independent British films.

•  Haunting...

FMTA initially formed in 2001 with Andrew Matecha and Steve Springman collaborating musically, working towards creating music of a unique, meaningful and notable heavy-industrial style.

After a few years of fairly reclusive songwriting and recording, FMTA gained a new member, Tyler Davidson, who brought the sound of his well-distorted guitars into the mix.

FMTA later released their debut studio-recorded EP, entitled "In The End, You Don't Exist", on December 8th, 2006.

At the beginning of 2007, singer Jen Langille was recruited to join the band, in a step to bring the band further realization of their musical & artistic goals.

More recently, the band have parted ways with guitarist Tyler Davidson but continue to write new material in anticipation of a summer 2007 e-release.

We won't change your life forever, man. We won't get you back together and we certainly can't fix your car.
