Lee Simeone produces his own brand of ambient electronica with some very deep soundscape backdrops. Simeone's first self-produced release was in 2004 with Telekinetic and had both club & radio play and won some good reviews. It was later remastered by chart topper Karel Fialka who had two hit singles 'The eyes have it' & 'Hey Matthew' IMG WIDTH=370 HEIGHT=430 SRC="http://a535.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/56/l_965b8b718b9195475111d6ba78a19a56.gif" In early April this year Simeone released The dream weaver a 13 track album on le coq musique which is ran by former frontman Gary Asquith (Renegade soundwave) & Kevin Mooney (Adam & the ants bassist) IMG WIDTH=337 HEIGHT=308 SRC="http://a561.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/36/l_173f156256592f6a9be49aba539b7870.jpg" This album (one of the debut releases of the label) really takes you far out like something out of this world. Simeone has really handcrafted this self produced album and has won some great reviews namely the pro music magazine 'Future music' in January 2007. It features a lot of dreamy and ambient textured soundscapes awashed with analog synthesizer. Very melancholy in places.

Have you performed in front of an audience?
Various shows, I never knew really where this was going to go and so far it's been great playing live. IMG WIDTH=370 HEIGHT=300 SRC="http://a861.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/33/l_cbc156ef5d44e8f4040803392db002cc.jpg" ^Simeone performs his ambient electronica live

What equipment do you use?
I use a lot of plug-in's namely Korg's legacy collection along with Arturia Minimoog V they are my favourites at the moment. For recording I use Cubase SX3 on a Centrino PC. I use various analog EQ's. Hardware I own is a vintage Prophet 5 analog synth which I use quite a bit in my recordings.
