Sounds Like
A little bit DM, a little bit of a Garbage influence, some have said close to BT, but with songs that have ethereal female vocalists it's hard to pin down!
NEW INFO:
An updated new version of "Eulogy" features the vocals of Greg Girardin, another local artist making it the first for male vocalists for Dymaxion Vehicle. Greg adds a haunting, layered vocal sound to what was originally an atmospheric instrumental. It was a pleasure to have Greg in for this one.-----------------------
"Something Wicked" featuring vocalist Jamie Leigh Green is done and up in the front slot for listening! Jamie Leigh is a local Mass. musician, performer and teacher and is both a powerful vocalist....possibly the most so that I've worked with on this project so far....and a total pro. It was a pleasure to have her in on this track. Thanks so much JLG!-------------------------------------
"West End Girls" featuring vocalist Layne Paige is finally mixed. We thought we'd give this now 20-year old classic an apdating and again...another gender switch! Hats off to Neil and Chris, with love always. Thanks also to Layne for making the track come alive! You can find her site here:Laynes' page --------------------------
New song! "Firefly" featuring Lynda Arnold. This song having been long in the works is finally complete. I wrote the Lyrics and music and Lynda contributed her wonderful voice to this electro track. Thanks again Lynda!
---------------------------
2 new songs! "Dreams in Argyle" written with and featuring the wonderful vocals of Sarah Moorehead(Wailing Woman records) and a reworking/updating of Depeche Modes' "Behind the Wheel" done in collaboration with Divasonics' Lynda Arnold. I did the music and produced and Lynda did the vocals. Many thanks to both of these talented artists who helped with these tracks!--------------------------------------------
I recently remixed "I Feel High", the leadoff track from electronic artist Divasonics' "Changing Winds" album. Combining electro dance with an accessible radio playability "I Feel High(Higher Remix)" can be found on her new remix album "Girationz Luv & High" and is available from iTunes. You can access her site at Divasonic -----------------------------------------------------------------A while back I had the pleasure of working with Key To Sound, founded by Koblos' Max Gronlund, doing beta testing on their flagship semi-modular Nexsyn synthesizer. They were nice enough to put me up on their website and this is how I first heard about Lynda Arnold as she did the same. It was my first product endorsement!

Dymaxion Vehicle is the electronic music project of former Einstein Experience, Medicinal James, and Sweetie guitarist Bill Hemp AKA Gothboy. Now an electronic musician, composer and synthesist He's producing his own brand of electronica, Darkwave, and synth-pop.
"I'm still looking for additional Lyricist/vocalists to collaborate with on a few songs that are in an electronic pop direction, if you are familiar with Alan Wilder and Recoil or Vince Clarke and what he's done with Yaz or Erasure then you can get an idea of what I'm doing....only more pop and not quite as experimental as Recoil.... so if you like what you hear in these tracks please contact me. I'm also a sound designer so any artists whether video or otherwise can contact me if you need soundtrack atmospheres."
“The last band I was in used programmed backing tracks to play to live...and this, in essence is where my interest in Synths and sound design began. Then I heard “Ultra” by Depeche Mode and I was just blown away by not only the music but what could be acheived using synths and samplers. I started reading and studying up on MIDI and from there got into hardware synths and most recently, software synths....so I’m self taught...and the learning never stops! That’s the great thing about sound design and music production....it never gets boring because there is always something new." His musical experiences since then have covered various genres of electronic pop: darkwave, goth, ambient, triphop, industrial, electro, dance. He’s currently working on an ep of electronic pop/rock.

heyeeee = the photo thingy do you can get from rockyou.com yeah I am everywhere now! I can stalk you from all pages hehe It's called having too much time on my hands!! =)
Thanks for the request....glad i could help ya with the video problem. Nice tunes and beats. Hope you enjoy the muzik, layouts and videos on my site. Best of luck to you in 2008...and beyond.
I can still add bands, but I just can't receive invites from them. That way I don't get overwhelmed with band invites from the long list of favorite bands on my myspace. But I have a couple of friends who have bands, and I always add them. I'm just not on myspace a lot (I prefer facebook), so that's why it took me so long.
AWESOME music. I will tell my friends about it! Do you have CD's out?
