About this user

Morbius began recording under the name of "Cybertron" in 1975. Although he has been in several bands over the years, he has always continued to compose and record his solo material as 'Cybertron', (yeah... before the "Cybertron" cartoon TV show, and all).

Morbius got started professionally by patching and programming Moog Modular Synthesizers (model 2-P) in a local Memphis recording studio, which specialized in radio and TV jingles. He did the sound effects and musical patches for the very first "Weed Eater" television commercial, back in the early 70's. From that point on, he received a pay-rate of $52/hr from the studio whenever they needed the Moog for session work, which was relatively new, increasingly popular, and- there weren't very many 'synthesists' around back in those days. (Not bad money for the 1970's).

Beginning in 1978, Morby composed and recorded theme and show music, space-music, and sound effects for the planetarium he worked at, and bought an ARP-2500 from another local studio. Armed with the ARP-2500, an ARP-2600, a MiniMoog, and a Moog 3-C, Morby was able to crank-out tons of all sorts of music, 'mood-setters", and sounds used by the planetarium for the in-house show productions, TV and radio jingles, and even 'canned-shows' the planetarium sold to other planetariums.

In the meantime, Morby continued to work as a synthesizer programmer and consultant for numerous studios in Memphis, as well as for many individual recording projects for bands and free-lance producers.

These days, having escaped from the rat-race of the big city, he composes music in his home synthesizer studio, which includes two sytems made by Synthesizers.com- a monster 3-cabinet, 5-tier studio system, and a custom-designed 2-cabinet portable system, which is designed for using 'Presets', so that specific sounds, voices, and effects can be instantly turned-on or off, or routed/rerouted to maximize improvisational and 'on-the-fly' changes in the output of the instrument. The almost completely eliminated the need of 'patching' while actually playing, or when the musical piece is still being heard. In fact, devising new ways of setting-up synthesizer 'Presets' for analog-modular synths have become a fantastic process for Morby, often rivaling sound-design and the more general patching, which most all synthesists enjoy exploring.

There is no certain genre that his music will fit into. Nearly all of it is a mixture or fusion of several genre, including progressive-rock, symphonic-rock, classical, funk, R & B, jazz, electronic, space-music, and probably everything in between.
