Sonic Psyops is a one man musical movement by classically trained composer, Jasen Smith. Jasen has been composing music and playing piano for the past 16 years now and has only recently compiled some of his favorite compositions onto his debut album entitled, "Culture Of Convenience."
As a child, Jasen enjoyed the synthesiser based New Wave music of the so-called second British Invasion during the 80's. Through High School, Jasen's musical taste matured and a friend turned him on to the instrumental New Age music of Tangerine Dream. This led to an interest in Classical music and the beginning of his piano studies.
"Culture Of Convenience" is the first of a trilogy of albums to be released over the next few years. The album melds traditional instrumentation with synthetic sounds. It can be described as Tangerine Dream plays Twister with Vangelis and Suzanne Ciani.
