Album Notes

for nearly the last 2 decades, symbion project has been the ongoing electronic music endeavor of kasson crooker.
during this time, kasson created the blippy synthpop band Freezepop which has released 3 albums and toured all over the world, was part of the late 90's electronic rock trio Splashdown, and has worked on many music videogames like Amplitude, Guitar Hero1/2, Phase, and RockBand.

the first full length symbion project cd "RED" came out in 1997 followed by "Immortal Game" in 2003, with artwork by stoltze design. 2006 saw the release of "Wound Up By God or the Devil" eschewing the traditional beat-driven downtempo songs for synthesizer-only soundscapes in the spirit of wendy carlos (tron, a clockwork orange) and vangelis (bladerunner). in 2006, Universal Hall Pass (UHP) released "Subtle Things" EP which features 3 remixes by symbion project and 3 original songs co-written with melissa r kaplan (ex-splashdown). the most recent album from symbion project, entitled "Misery in Soliloquy" was just released in fall of 2009 and returns to the sounds on "Immortal Game." once again esoteric beats, haunting synths are joined by k*ss*n and melissa's vocals accompanied by lush strings by simon swarbrick. beautiful artwork by dorothea van camp graces the album art, once again handled by clifford stoltze.
