1. Artist:

Independent New York-based electronic music composer/producer who has started his own direction by tempering the elements of progressive and electro house, dark ambient/IDM and soundtrack music into one consistent whole.
Formed in 2005

2. Statement:

I write music because I like to write music. It is the process that feeds my addiction to it. It is the ability to see how nothing becomes something, how chaos becomes order, how primitive sonic patterns turn into full-blown soundscapes
Expressing my vision through it is the easier part. The real challenge is to come up with a particular set of qualities that would work as a conduit for the emotional content of my music, that would decode the cipher and deliver the substance.
And since my substance is always audiovisual this set is always cinematic. That is why the bigger part of my material is very close to soundtrack music.
I try to explore and experiment with the darker sound, mostly because even within electronic music domain it still remains an uncharted territory and holds an ultimate appeal of being an alternative to almost anything else.
I am not a big fan of dull uniformity in general so I try to use different, sometimes even contrasting ideas inside a song in attempt to make it a bit less predictable and a little more intriguing.
And finally, I see each of my albums having its own aura. Maybe it is because every time I listen to a random set of tracks from each of them the impression is different, not in terms of polarity but rather it is the emotional reaction that keeps changing

3. Music in quotes:

"Orchestral electronica is what Lanes has discovered with his experimental processes. The digital sounds work in harmony
with each other and form voluminous creations that portray human thoughts and actions. The surreal feats are magically plied
and ambiently phrased. The fusion of sound waves and digital effects are familiar in Enigma's music, and yet uniquely arranged
in Lanes compositions" (Susan Frances, Hybrid Magazine, March 6, 2007)

"Lanes causes contrasts in the pitch and direction of the digital sounds as well as the depth of their frequencies. He shows a
scientific approach to his compositions that is initiated from the human psyche. The parcels of digitron sounds materialize
magnetically like molecular structures attaching to each other, and then separating instinctually. The music notes resonate with
agility as they slice and coast across the melodic floor boards. The compositions have an intensity and complexity that emotes
a light show of vibrations hewn from human thought processes. They are instrumentals in digital form, and yet invoked from
human impulses" (Susan Frances, Jazzreview Magazine, March 14, 2007)

5. Influences: Orbital

Its hard for me to tell as to which extent, if any, my music reflects my influence (although I have been told on multiple occasions that certain compositions of mine do evoke strong associations with Orbital), matter of fact I never had an intention to become Hartnolls follow-up act but the overall cinematic character of my music is definitely a result of Orbital's impact on my creativity
