...Aliens Invade! by Michael Oster

An experiment in human artificial intelligence sends an errant signal into space and aliens are inadvertently contacted. Then it gets weird.

Michael Oster hits the ground running in 2013 with ...Aliens Invade! Dive deep into his world of abused sounds, tape collage, damaged goods, synthetic creatures and random bursts of wild energy. ...Aliens Invade! crosses the bounds of dark ambient, electronic noise, digital glitch, strange synths and broken beats while managing to stay on this side of chaos - barely. This is what happens when rules become meaningless.

Michael Oster is an artist of extremes. From beautiful and detailed nature recordings to experimental sonic butchery and audio destruction, his releases cover a lot of ground. He has an extensive background in audio engineering and sound design with a career that spans over 20 years.

Currently, his experimental releases involve the use of his custom designed synthesizers and audio manipulators which he creates in Native Instruments Reaktor software. His base of operations is his laptop studio called F7 Sound and Vision. He also is the force behind the "Difficult Listening Channel" podcast which features an ever-evolving mashup of original sonic material.

You may not have heard of me, but chances are, you've heard my sounds.

I started my professional career in 1992 and my sounds have appeared in feature film, television, computer games, radio, and lots of other interesting places.
