  • Bio

    Twyndyllyngs Before forming Xeroid Entity with Greg Waltzer, Howard Moscovitz and Bill Fox were already playing together under the name Subspace. The duo was put on hiatus once Xeroid Entity was formed. But in early 2010, Howard and Bill realized that they had made a resurgence as a duo. Meanwhile, the old band name had been plastered all over MySpace and the internet by other acts. So using a new name, Howard and Bill returned to the spotlight with weekly internet broadcasts called Chez Mosc. Originating from Howard's living room, Chez Mosc consists of Howard and Bill performing a weekly concert on electro-music radio. Musical guests are welcomed with open arms.

    Howard Moscovitz has been involved in electronic music since 1967 when he started making tape music using a short wave radio as a sound source. He received his Bachelors of Music degree with a major in Theory and Composition in 1970 at Jacksonville University. Jacksonville was one of the first colleges to have one of the new Moog Modular Synthesizers. In 1969 he studied Musique Concete with Samuel Dolan at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. Howard went on to study with Robert Ashley at The Mills College Center of Contemporary Music in Oakland, California. There, he received a Masters of Fine Arts degree in 1972. He also studied Computer Music at Stanford University with Leland Smith, John Chowning, and Jean Claude Risset. Never satisfied with commercially available musical instruments, Howard began designing his own while still a grad student at Mills College. After working with his mentor, Stanley Lunetta, designing some of the very first digital synthesizers, Howard worked with Donald Buchla on the infamous Electric Symphony Orchestra which gave its one and only performance in 1974 at Berkeley, California. He has designed several unique electronic instruments, including signal processors and sequencers. Some of these were manufactured by Electronic Music Associates in the 1970s, and are highly desired today among collectors. Howard earned a Masters in Electrical Engineering degree at the University of California at Berkeley in 1981 and moved to Pennsylvania to work at Bell Laboratories. There, he was on the design team which developed the first Digital Signal Processor (DSP) chip. These chips are now found at the heart of virtually every electronic musical instrument or signal processor in use today. He retired from corporate America in 2002 and is now devoting his time to composing and music performance. In 2003 he founded electro-music.com, an interactive web site dedicated to furthering the art of electronic music. His music has been performed extensively in the United States, Canada and Europe. He has won several awards for his music, including the Elizabeth Crowley Mills Award for Excellence in Music Composition. Aside from synthesizers, Howard plays the Piano and the Banjo. Howard is the originator of the electro-music forum and is co-organizer of the electro-music festival. Bill Fox is a musician to the core. His motto, "I love music," is a phrase he collects in whatever languages he can. However, proof of the pudding comes from his pursuit of the lost cord. ("I think I plugged it into an amplifier over there somewhere...") Essentially self taught from the age of 10 when he became interested in the guitar, Bill has gone on to dabble with bass, synthesizers (of almost every variety), mandolin, percussion, and saxophones. He has performed as bassist in the progressive cover band ShadowPlay, as guest chicken shaker with Devonsquare at Musikfest and Godfrey Daniels, and has performed in numerous musicals in pit orchestras, playing many instruments, not to mention singing and dancing(!) on stage. Bill was the principle musician in an all Beatles concert at 19th Street Theater, singing backup vocals and playing acoustic (6 and 12 string) and electric guitars, bass, and tenor sax. Bill currently plays with a Progressive Rock project, Pinnacle, doing original music. Bill played in the Progressive/Classic Rock cover band Pulse as a founding member until the day the band ended. He holds the position of principle saxophone in the Municipal Band of Allentown. With Greg Waltzer, Bill and Howard are Xeroid Entity. Bill's formal studies include music theory, composition, electronic music, and audio recording at Ohio State University while obtaining a degree in electrical engineering. Deeply immersed in all things Beatles, Bill's favorite book is "The Beatles Recording Sessions," a book that chronicles the Beatles' every recording session. Bill is also a programmer (that's a fancy name for a DJ who decides what to play instead of having to follow a provided playlist) at WDIY where he presents Galactic Travels, an electronic, ambient, and space music program of world renown (thanks to the internet). He also hosts Thought Radio and Afterglow on WMUH where he presents an eclectic mix of musical genres, with an emphasis on Progressive Rock. Long live free form radio!
