"I started the Overand project in 2001, a new identity I created after deciding I needed a musical rebirth. My previous project, Sucrose, started in the mid 1990s, and was unabashedly techno with a dark, quasi-gothic feel. When I started writing music as Overand, I didn't realize how dramatic of a change I would undergo.
I continued in the "techno" vein until I started working with my modular synthesizer, tentatively exploring more abstract soundscapes. In early 2006, I started working with the local musician Jeremy Kelly. We rapidly moved into the even more avant-garde range of "noise music," and formed Harry Xenu, a collaboration that would have a lasting impact both on my composition and perception of music. (Since mid 2006, Harry Xenu has been mostly idle, as I left the New York Hudson Valley, and only occasionally am able to work with Jeremy.
These days, I write most of my music to facilitate the experience of new mental and emotional spaces in my listeners." --Overand
