SourceCodeX  is a project  created by John W. Patterson- head of the  ASMID forum, and publisher of music. He is the reviewer and webmaster  of  http://eer-music.com,  a musician-based   jazz/ambient site and store. Though a guitarist (since 1967) he always had a strong liking  for synth music. Inspired by the  New Age era, which gave creaative music artists  an outlet to release electronical atmospheric and ethereal space music -- some being void of rhythms. John  recognized  a "power" in this genre to evoke altered consciousness.

In 2002 he  began experimenting with various software-based synths and sound editing programs, while  reviewing music.   In this deep sea of blissful inspiration he was destined to "give back" his  own twisted echoes of the genre. CodeX Hypnos is the result of decades of listening and a few months of learning the
right software.

From November 2003, to January 2004, John created his first SourceCodeX  project named:  `Codex Hypnos.'  No external hardware was used. The music's origin is 99%  from the silicon cities of a very basic, outdated, personal  computer. After positive  brief e-discussions with  synth composer James Johnson and recording software  authority Scott Garrigus,  further inspiration and drive helped finish  the recording.  All the eight tracks were written in isolation from, unrelated to any theme and then upon listening to them, John discovered  a theme was clearly evident.  Tracks 1 through 8 are arranged now as a "journey" by an introspective voyager
into unknown outer and inner realms of consciousness.  This "psyche-naut" encounters regions of placid lightscapes, formless voids, ominous darker and threatening regions, and then a final wasteland where  the death of Time and a time of Death is experienced.

In  the beginning in December 2006, John  returned to his uniquely styled cinematic ambience  and created his latest recording-  Primordial Lands Arise,  a perfect name (and discription) for this CD. Utilizing dark textures of sounds, the album attains the core of what could simply put as- primordial. 

John's press kit mentions: 

The theme or mood this time in Primordial Lands Arise is linked to descriptions and/or visions of places we don't like to think about. We may call these after-life lands by older names like Sheol, the Underworld, Hell, Gehenna, outer darkness or the Abyss. SourceCodeX is very sensitive to things of the Spirit of living Light, as well as being wary of an ancient darkness that prowls this world. In his ambient creations, one can sense a tension, a struggle, and an undercurrent of unseen powers being considered sonically. Titles of his pieces give hint.

"DroneMass", "HellDreamVimana", "HiddenThingsBetweenThings", "GnostixLabyrinth", "VainTraditionsAbyss", and so forth, give clues to what one may encounter. But I venture to say this -- unless you heard his CodeX Hypnos release when it came out -- you are in for one big surprise. It is dark ambience like you have never heard before! 

I would love  to see (and of course hear),  what John  will do  next.  It might be  very interesting to  fuse his guitarist sensibilities with  his dark cinematic soundscapes.
