Big Boost Mondays - Rodney Orpheus - the rise of the technopagan

Born in Northern Ireland, he created electrorock band The Cassandra Complex, going on to set up his own recording studio in Hamburg and live in California. Rodney will join us for a discussion into his cyberpunk activities and how his ever evolving work weaves in elements of EBM, industrial, goth rock, new wave and synthpop.

Rodney believes when you use a computer, you're using your imagination to manipulate the computer's reality. It's sorcery, changing the plastic quality of nature on a nuts-and-bolts level. "Magickal techniques that date back hundreds of years are totally valid in a cyberpunk age."

He has worked with many of the leading companies in the music technology industry, most notably with WholeWorldBand, PreSonus, Steinberg, and DTS, as well as writing a regular monthly column for Computer Music magazine. He has also lectured at colleges and music business events.
