Inspired by the DIY home studio technology revolution (a la Brian Eno, Aphex Twin & Global Communication), Fx vowed to be at the forefront of how it applied to the cultivation of new and modern musics (whether or not they are bonafide are up to you). Traversing the grounds of hip hop, funk, house, ambient & techno, no one genre can suitably capture his array of musical endeavors. Since a formative stint as keyboardist with the 'legendary' Santa Barbara techno-industrial outfit Big Techno Fighter (with Cody Herzog and Kevin Minor), Cyrus has grown into the roles of producer, DJ, arranger and beatmeister, and to date has released 5 albums worth of work: Fxs first solo attempt, "Mega Universe" (an intergalactic, experimental/ambient concept album chronicling the failures of the space program) was released in 1997, followed by 2000's "Y" (hardcore techno/trance meets roots drum n' bass meets highly-tinkered electronica) and 2002's "Impermenance" (a jazzy groove-based, deepspace trance/house excursion). The left-overs from that session were collected in 2003s Less Permenant (poignant eletro-folk and avant jungle ballads), while The Cirrus Squalor Album (2004) tested the aural limits of the Emu XL-7 Command Station and modern MIDI technology. Currently, the Fx is working on more funk-based electronic psychedelia, guaranteed to please even the most cynical of the post-rave techno-heads.
