Listen to: PoP goes tHe underworld (Orpheos)
Orpheos (his given name) is one of the most versatile live-electronic music producers for his genre. Starting out in the gothic era and then becoming one half of The Mephisto Odyssey has helped to sculpt him into the trip hop gothic menace he is today.
Now currently based in California he has officially remixed noteworthy bands and artists such as Jane's Addiction, Static-X, and Soul Coughing to name a few.
His musical schooling began from the age of eight years old. Intensively trained in Classical, Rock, Jazz, and West Indian (Caribbean Reggae) music.
Starting in the early 90's Orpheos with his writing partner Mikeal Johnston, formed The Mephisto Odyssey.The world wide known duo were among the more innovative and influential electronic groups of their generation: their agressive yet hypnotic sound-a dark sensual and cinematic fusion of trip-hop breakbeat rhythms with live instrumentation and a palette of talented guest vocalists.
In his solo works, Orpheos fuses all of his very own instrument playing, vocals, and personally developed production style. His approach stems from the intricate and tedious production of over 50 different underground electronica vinyl releases.
His solo Album PoP goes tHe underworld infuses downtempo trip-hop beats with melodic rock, reggae, and haunting hypnotic soul.
His music has lended itself well to both the commercial and underground music and film scenes and seeks to venture further.
