Todd Fletcher (the musician behind Psychetropic) has been creating electronic
music since 1983, using an Apple IIe computer, inspired primarily by the music
of Klaus Schulze and Brian Eno. From the beginning his music emphasized the
union of sound design with melody and rythm to create a complete sound matrix.
Fletcher's first releases were cassettes for the Poison Plant label, including a
track on the LP compilation Charmed. In 1994 he self-released the CD Byzantium,
inspired by a growing fascination with Middle Eastern music. Following in 1995
was an excursion into desert ambience, Star, on the Amplexus sub-label Arya. In
1996 Fletcher appeared on two compilations CD's, Twilight Earth II (Timebase)
and Soundscape Gallery I (Lektronic Soundscapes)
The microrelease label debuted in 2001 with two releases. Arcane Energies
combines the desert atmospheres of Star with the dense rythmic interplay of
Byzantium. 23 introduced Fletcher's side-project Psychetropic, exploring a
techno/Berlin School sound.
Fletcher's interest in sound design as an integral aspect of music continues to
deepen. Currently producing music entirely on computer, he uses numerous
software tools to create singular sound atmospheres condusive to dreaming and
reflection.
