Dispyz

Dispyz Is An Alias Of The "Amiga Tracker" Musician Producer And Live Performer Tyler St Clair. Born In The Concrete Suburbs Of Milwaukee Wisconsin He Developed The Radical Musical Chiptune Sub-Style. Although A Majority Of His Sound Is Based In The Minimal Harder Edged Sounds Of Early Industrial Music He Is Known Most For Pioneering His Unique Blend Of Breakneck Speed Video-Game Music. The Beginnings Of This Sound Began To Take Shape In The Mid 90's When He Wrote His First Song On The C64 At The Age Of 13. Bio Here Is A Portion Taken From His Bio Via The Dispyz Myspace Profile "My Name Is Tyler And I've Been Making Tunes Since 1995. I Began Writing Music At The Age Of Thirteen When I Saved My Paper Route Money To Buy A Commodore 64 Computer. I Originally Purchased It To Feed My Video Game Addiction But I Quickly Realized The Machine's Ability To Create Sounds Like Those Of My Favorite Games. Those Long Afternoons Spent As A Latch-Key Kid Conveniently Allowed Me To Create Songs And Melodies While Being Able To Happily Shut Out The World. Gone Were The Days Of Recording My NES To Listen To The Rhythms On The Way To School! During Those Years I Created The Foundation For What Became My First Batch Of Material. Check Out The Tune "Raverblood" For An Example Of This My Simple Hobby Turned Into A Full Blown Obsession Several Years Later When I Became Aware Of Audio Sampling Through The Use Of My Amiga Computers. I Kept My Music A Secret From Everyone Around Me Until A Friend Of Mine Leroybrown Heard It By Accident And Because Of His Reactions I Started To Think About Music As More Than Just A Secret." read less
