Artist picture
Primarily electronic music - ambient electronic, new age, electronic classical and Electronic Jazz Fusion. An auditory sound sculpture, a sensory emotional
Cross electronica with Alan Parsons, a bit of Depeche Mode and Dead Can Dance - stir well with jazz influences and classical music and you get my electronic music. Ken Linder has written hundreds of compositions in many different styles (pop, alternative, ambient electronic, new age, gothic, gothic industrial, folk, classical, electronic classical and Jazz) over the years. This is a small sampling of his instrumental work. He is equally at home with an acoustic guitar as he is with a synthesizer and an electronic studio. "In my instrumental music I work toward creating an auditory sound sculpture, a sensory emotional journey that conjures up images in the minds and sensations of the listener."

Story behind the song
Many people seem to have the idea that the internet is a place where it is OK to lie, just because it is easy to get away with it. People lie about how they look, how old they are, where they live, much money they have and even what gender they are. Its dangerous to assume that you know anything for sure about a person you have met on the web. You never know if your "web mate" is the friend you think they are, or somebody totally different. You could even end up with a "cyber lover" who is you priest, some pervert, your teacher, a person of a gender you don't want, or even one of your parents or your little brother. How many showers (and how much therapy) would you need to cope with a thing like that?
Lyrics
Are you who you say you are? If I could find out....How could I know? Are you who you say you are? If I could find out....How could I know? Are you hideing something from me? I don't know if there's a way I can see? Are you who you say you are? If I could find out....How could I know? Are you who you say you are? If I could find out....How could I know? Is there something that you won't say? We've never face to faced anyway. Are you who you say you are? If I could find out....How could I know? Are you who you say you are? If I could find out....How could I know? Are you who you say you are? If I could find out....How could I know? Are you who you say you are? If I could find out....How could I know?
