John Lyell has been a musician since 1984. As a guitar player for 30 years he has recorded and performed in numerous Rock and Hard Rock band projects since the 1980's as well as Acoustic projects in the 2000's. Starting in the early 1990's John's focus and interests shifted more to synthesizer based Ambient, Atmospheric & SpaceMusic. He then started putting together a home/project studio around 1996 so that he could write and produce Instrumental synth based music. From his recording studio in Minneapolis, MN., he currently writes, records, engineers, and produces Instrumental Ambient Electronic, SpaceMusic, Atmospheric, and Acoustic music. Inspired by his first introduction to SpaceMusic back in 1994 from the "Hearts of Space" radio program, John immersed himself in Ambient - SpaceMusic and started dabbling in graphic arts with his first Macintosh computer in June of 1997. With heavy interests in Astronomy, the concept of Time Travel, SpaceMusic and related cosmic subject matter, Lyell used these interests as inspiration to create "Cosmic" and "Surreal" digital art. John has been continually creating this art since 1997. Beginning in 2005, John has also displayed and sold his Space Art and Ambient Music at Science Fiction Conventions & Art Fairs in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. As a musician, John has released five Ambient - SpaceMusic CD's commercially: "Wormholes" (1998) .....with Brent A. Reiland,"Synthetic Universe" (2002) .....with Brent A. Reiland, "Dimension
