BIOGRAPHY

Composer and arranger Gregory Kyryluk has been composing music since acquiring his first professional keyboard, a Moog synthesizer, back in the early 1980s. Primarily a self-taught musician, Gregory has recorded as Alpha Wave Movement since 1992.

Alpha Wave MovementŐs musical style can be considered an amalgam of classic 1970s period German style electronic music, otherwise known as Berlin-school, and the ambient aesthetics of Brian Eno, John Serrie and Steve Roach as well as hints of John Williams and other contemporary film composers.

Alpha Wave MovementŐs music is all electronic-based, utilizing digital synthesizers and MIDI to create its sonic explorations. Aside from the musical influences noted nature, natural landscapes and photography are a continuous source of inspiration for composing. Music cannot be forced but rather comes at moments of deeper inspiration.

Alpha Wave Movement has performed at the Ambient Ping Canada and at the Gathering Room USA, and has released music on the Dutch label Groove Unlimited, Silent Records (USA), Waveform Records (USA), Spiralight (USA), Ambientlive (UK), Lektronic Soundscapes (USA), Sequences Magazine (UK), and on the private label Harmonic Resonance Recordings. Alpha Wave MovementŐs other projects include Thought Guild with synthesis Christopher Cameron the electronic world fusion of Open Canvas, and a solo non Alpha Wave Movement release.

Harmonic Resonance Recordings (H.R.R.) is a small independent music label begun by me in 1995 to release and promote the music of Alpha Wave Movement. This started before there was any record/music label interested in releasing my music perhaps with the sole exception for Silent Records which took interest enought to include the first Alpha Wave Movement track on a "From Here to Tranquility" compilation cd. The debut release on Harmonic Resonance Recordings was the 1995/96 release "Transcendence" and the release of new titles continues throughout today.

Harmonic Resonance Recordings (H.R.R.) released a DVD entitled Terra, which features ambient music and images of the natural landscapes of New Zealand. The DVD video was made via a collaborative effort with electronic musician Rudy Adrian. The music found on this release will soon be available on audio cd later in 2008.

In addition Alpha Wave Movement has released "The Mystic & The Machine" in 2007 and it is a slight departure from what electronic music enthusiast will gauge electronic music by. In other words this release is not of the ambient/space/techno variety of music rather it is a cd comprised of music inspired by the rich melodic constant of progressive rock circa 1970s. Hints of Camel, Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd etc. are obvious thru-out the recording. Mystic takes the rhythmic rock elements and the inspirational melodic romanticism of the genre and weaves up-tempo in your face progressive rock inspired electronic music with the aid of UK guitarist/composer Steve Hillman.
