English composer Des O'Connor and American poet Ashley Alquine team up to create aural landscapes from surreal vocals and experimental beats. Living on different continents hasn't hindered their ability to create music, thanks to the alchemy of the Internet. Des labels them the First Transplanetary Band(tm), and they collaborate with file transfers and arcane digital voodoo. The band has currently just completed contributing to the musical score of a UK channel 4 documentary film called 3's a Crowd, due out this fall, and the band is also working on its soon to be released CD, Resurrection.
Band/artist history
While Des has been composing for many years and has a lot of his previous work showcased on the internet, the duo of Lazerous Syndrome was formed in August of 2001 through a chat conversation. Des found Ash in the "Books and Literature" chatroom on Yahoo and discovered that she was a poet. He asked her to write lyrics for Requiem of an Ancient Sun, and then discovered that she could sing as well. Hence, she has sung on many of the musical projects produced. They bring their sound together by file transfers. Des sends her audio files and she composes lyrics and then records her singing and sends the raw vocals back to Des so that he can mix them into the music. It's been a very successful venture resulting in their being hired to score a documentary, and many other exciting opportunities will soon come about.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
As of yet we do not play live as our situation prohibits it (Des is in England, Ash is in America). We hope to play live at some point.

Im disconnected from the very source of my joy ...... Limbic
WOW the music makes you think and helps in hearing Gods words..... Many Blessings to you
Yo, LS, totally original and satisfying. My fave is Conversations and I also like Lost in Action and Indigo Joy. Avondale sounds like a mellow place that knows about music of the mellow sort. Nice. Peacers, DH
I just listened to "Resurrection" and "Conversations" You have a very cool and diverse mix!
Your music has real meaning. Just listened to 'Resurrection' and 'Close and Distant Friends' The latter is a beautiful piece of work. I believe we drink from the same cup. Love on both your souls-Deek
