A specialist in electronic music, synthesis, and sound design since 2002, Andrew Aversa (aka 'zircon') has worked furiously to expand his musical knowledge while writing and producing songs of numerous styles. Though his forte lies in the realm of breakbeat and similar genres, infectious rhythms and powerful synth lines represent only a part of Andrew's musical ability. With numerous full computer game soundtracks under his belt, dozens of original works, two full-length albums, music library placements, and a large, growing collection of video game rearrangements, Andrew has extended his sonic arsenal into a wide range of styles. These range from maximum energy dance tracks, to dramatic film-score style electro-acoustic underscores, new age, smooth jazz, synth rock, R&B, and even to Elfman-esque orchestral works, among others. As he continues to delve into new musical styles, Andrew's years of training as a classical pianist are not forgotten in his detailed arrangements.
