I found this remix sitting on my hard drive. I haven't touched this one for years, so it was probably time to release it.

A random goa trance song that I wrote to improve my creativity. I just let it all out. This is how I work.

A piece inspired by the movie "Memento." Sort of a combination between IDM, acid, and symphonic.

This wicked EBM/futurepop/chemical beat track is so awesome that 7 out of 8 ninjas say it "kicks butt."

Industrial

I now produce under my real name, Mark Ridlen. Check out my recent work here: http://soundcloud.com/mark-ridlen Introspective Journeys is a one man electronica project that generally goes the way of symphonic/progressive. I have been into writing old school electronica lately, as well as my own blend of orchestral and techno. Like alternate time signatures like 7/8, 12/8, 6/8, or 10/8? I tend to use plenty of those in my music. You might want to check out my industrial/rap sideproject, Isotope Lab. http://www.soundclick.com/isotopelab Big thanks to all my fans (yes all three of you!). I'm getting about 12-60 plays per day, and I would just like to express my thanks for your listening to my music.
Band/artist history
Started a few years back. Used to sequence for Yahmaha DJX, but now using Buzz (http://buzzmachines.com).
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes, but under the name "Truth and Regret." http://www.softcheese.net/mridlen/TruthAndRegret/
Your musical influences
Lately I've been listening to Linkin Park (one of the more innovative bands these days), but I also like Juno Reactor, Galbatron (mp3.com/galbatron), Pink Floyd, and William Orbit to name a few.
What equipment do you use?
Whatever I have. I prefer software. Right now I'm using Jeskola Buzz. It works wonders. At first I didn't like the tracker interface, but it is growing on me more and more. In fact, I would reccommend it highly. Some people have a genuine hate of that program, but I (and my 150 synths, and my 300 effects) have the last laugh. I am using a Terratec 24/96 card for ASIO, and it is working wonders. I'm working on recording vocals right now. Buzz also works great for an FX processor, in conjunction with my Johnson uk-120 ukulele (no, really!). I'm running a Yamaha DJX as well as a Yamaha CS2x. I hope to own a modular someday.
