Biographical sketch
 

Ralrok

Sound Wizard Dan aka Ralrok

I was born in La Mesa (San Diego) California and flipped flopped between Wyoming and California for several years. I finally ended up in Palm Springs, California where I graduated HS and meandered through life at a self-serving pace, my years of rpg-ing a main inspiration for my music, art and writing. I'm still a kid at 33, smarter, stronger, faster but every bit as consistant with my interests. Fantasy was revealed to me at 10 when I entered my first AD&D campaign. From there interests warped into Dungeon Dweller/Grenadier collections, films related to swords and sorcery, film soundtracks and eventually the creation of my own AD&D world and trilogy of novels about such. Now I compose music inspired by fantasy and sci-fi, from movies to my fantasy world of the Rakinik... when I'm not chasing my wife and six children around of course.

Update March 2005:
I have always been interested in fantasy, film soundtracks and eventually the creation of my own fantasy world and trilogy of novels about such. These days I compose music inspired by everything from fantasy, horror to sci-fi, from movies to my fantasy world of the Rakinik Medieval Fantasy Creation is my production house which includes my electronic composition freelance services. I have been composing a variety of EM for almost twenty years. In my music there is a symbiosis of genre inspiration that forms a variety of sound range from cinematic/ambient themes to driving sequencer/drum rhythms which are influenced by some of the greatest pioneers of progressive electronic music.
