| | Quantum Dots Inventing Reality CD Quantum Dots Discography of CDs
In the world of science, Quantum Dots are a recent creation that use semiconductor material that dynamically changes the properties of matter. Taken literally: "programmable matter." Like their namesake, The Quantum Dots (from Portland, Oregon) dynamically shift moods, creating complex, orchestral compositions that range from subtle ambient soundscapes to crushing thrashfests. Multi-instrumentalist Eric Sterling and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Dean Blair use state of the art synthesizer technology, alternating melodic/heavy guitars, both live and programmed drums, and masterfully-integrated soaring vocals to create these highly cinematic songs. Guests on their debut album, "Inventing Reality," include Jyri Glynn of The Sins playing electric violin on half of the songs, Chris Gaye on bass for 3 tracks, Ned Wahl (ex-Chemlab, ex-Halo Black) on bass for a number of tracks and Jennifer Pomada (ex-roommate) playing flute on a couple of songs.-----------"Hailing from Portland, OR, The Quantum Dots have been compared to everyone from Tool to Dave Gahan, and given the grandiose nature of the music, these comparisons are not unwarranted. However, the sense of musical adventure that the Dots seem to revel in is best displayed on lengthier, more meandering tracks, where band members Eric Sterling and Dean Blair have room to experiment at will. The spacey, almost Floyd-esque "System of Belief" is night-sky listening music, complete with soaring wordless vocals. "Serotonin" clocks in at over twelve minutes, and has a trance-like quality that is saved from monotony by the judicious application of guitar chords and vocal samples. In contrast, the short and sharp track "The Auction" delivers a perfect, tight aggro vocal. Inventing Reality is the debut release by The Quantum Dots, and it showcased a level of musical sophistication and inventiveness that is not often found in virgin offerings. I'll definitely be watching The Quantum Dots to see what they invent next."-- Steph Quinlan, StarVox Music Zine (April 2004) Quantum Dots Inventing Reality Songs | 1. | Center of Gravity |

Patrick O’Hearn: Glaciation (self-released)It’s been awhile since a disc of ethereal, slow-moving instrumental music (this once would have been called “new age”) has captured my imagination like Patrick O’Hearn’s Glaciation has. Like the glaciers and icebergs that adorn the lovely CD package, these compositions have a spare, mysterious, other-worldly beauty. I mean to pay this release a high compliment when I note that some of this music recalls the most evocative work of Brian Eno, in the way O’Hearn places the instruments in different ambient fields and the way the tunes unfold so naturally and majestically. But far from being just a keyboard/synth workout, this features many other textures, from pulsing basses to electric Hawaiian guitar ...

God blessed me with the gift of voice before I was born. I started singing as a child, somewhere around the age of three or four. I've always loved music, all kinds, for as long as I can remember. Whenever I would experience something stressful, I always found solace in music. My mother, Debra King-Cooper, always supported me buying stereos, records, tapes CD's and whatever else I needed to enhance my appetite for music. I would blast the music and sing so loud that the neigbors would come knocking at our doors and ask me to turn the volume down, even though we lived in a house! Needless to say, music was and has always been my best friend. I was exposed to different types of music at an early age. My godmother, Sunshine (Sarah Fine), took me to see plays and concerts at least every other month. In the 90's, she made sure that we went to see everybody who was anybody in the R&B industry. She is the second greatest support of my career, other than my mother, thus far. I've always had the desire to write lyrics and compose music, but never thought that I could. I thought that it was a talent that people innately possessed and maybe I didn't have it. I've loved music forever and was ready to put my skills and abilities to the test. I chose to follow my heart in September of 2001 when I met Kristopher Cloud and ...
