Fractured Psyche
Electronic track with guitar-work and vocals (a first for Psychosis Formatted)
Nomadic Souls
The title came about listening to the irregular shifting of the percussion; the kick and snare rolls traveling into the next. The unsettling ambient synths that keep the open melodies.This track is favorite among people who listen to industrial music
Line of Departure
Another meloncholic track with a synth-pop feel to it. I tried to add elements of jungle to the verse beats but I don't know if it's noticable. The chorus slows down about 5 bpm's to give it more a down-tempo feel to it. Another one with the usual

A complete solo project titled, "Psychosis Formatted." An electronic blend of influences from melodic synth-pop, cut-throat vocals of metal, distorted beats that shift and the occasional droning guitar-work that bites with a crunch.
The tracks have a broad range of being completely symphonic to industrial complexity of melodies with the accompaniment of synthetic beats. Psychosis Formatted tries to mesh together several genres (from ambience, classical, down-tempo, industrial, metal, to trip-hop) to come up with innovative songs.Band/artist history
At the start, Psychosis Formatted was an unnamed project to help me attain my dream career as a producer. I was in the Marine Corps at the time and everyone I knew who created music was at an ocean's distance from me. I started out with the Boss SP-505 sampler (My very first electronic gear aside from the guitar). I loved manipulating my voice with that machine. (Making crank calls was so much fun!) A friend of mine had turn me over to the software side. If I had the money, I would've stayed as a hardware freak.
So with the introduction of software, I started making music and read so many books/magazine articles about music production. I've learn so much since then and I am still learning everyday. The technology is going at a rapid pace so everyday you have to learn something new, even if it's a lingo at that.
I started making music without a handle. Then for a brief time, I went by DJ sKuMm. I only DJ'd once at a bar in Japan; but that's insufficient for me to go by as a DJ. After searching on the internet, just about everyone and their kid brother went by that name as well. I'm not a DJ, so I needed a persona change for my music. Psychosis Formatted entered the domain for the name change game and has been fortified since.
What started as a creativity outlet to enchance skills in the recording arts is now a project on it's own for others to enjoy. So far I'm receiving positive responses and requests for collaborations. I will continuing making more music as Psychosis Formatted.Have you performed in front of an audience?Nope, as a musician I make an appearance here and there to help other bands on the stage. Very rare to find me on stage though.
