Synaptic Distortion is made up of one person, Darren Maunu, who in 1995 began producing sample based music on low end computers through the use of software called trackers. A few years later Darren along with a friend Paul started to play around with higher end software and hardware but due to lack of time and other commitments very little was produced. With faster processors coming out Darren started to experiment with the use of softsynths and discovered high quality music could be created strictly from software without the use of expensive and space consuming hardware.

Synaptic Distortion has been experimenting with various forms of electronic music but Trance, House and Breaks have been the focus. The goal of this project is to create high quality music with a sound that is a little different from the rest by taking elements from varous genres and incorporating them into a unique sound. It is all about a good beat and creating emotion which allows you to feel the music.

The TTH Temp Label	Nov 17 2007 4:17 AM Hi there Darren Maunu aka Synaptic Distortion first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account. Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't loose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.

Colleen Kelly	Sep 24 2007 11:55 PM Hi Darren. How have you been sweetheart? Thanks for the kind words about Denial - I'm so happy you like it :D Your tracks are really good. I like the Hope preview... very emotional... keep going! Have a great week :D
Miss Michie	Sep 1 2007 6:49 AM """"Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you can't get them back. So I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you. Send this to all your friends including me and see how many you get back. Send this balloon to everybody you like. You may also return it to me. If four balloons are returned to you, something you have been waiting for a long time will happen!!!! Believe me...... It really happens! Send a lot of little balloons to your friends!!!""""

sandro quiros	Jun 17 2007 4:23 PM Hello I hope all is well with you and your loved ones. As you notice my CD is released to the public. My tracks are definitely worth spinning. I would also like to mention I decided with your help every purchase of a CD or download I will be donating a percentage to a local shelter home for abused women. This issue was very near to me when I wrote a song called “Girl what’chu doin”. This is no gimmick. According to the Nation Domestic hotline organization, domestic violence and sexual assault occur frequently in the United States. 1,500,000 women are raped or physically assaulted by an intimate partner annually in the United States, and 1 in 4 women in the United States will experience domestic violence or sexual assault in her lifetime. I believe that an artist must reflect real issues as well as make a contribution to his or her community. Let us make a difference and stop saying you’ll do this later. Purchase the CD today you won’t be disappointed. Buy Downloaded tracks from iTUNES THE Apple iTunes LINK WILL BE: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playListId=255289379 OR BUY CD!!! Here is the link: http://cdbaby.com/cd/quiros Much luv and blessing, sandro Quote: . LIFE...so fragile. LOSS... so sudden. HEART...so broken. We're haunted by things we don't - and may never - understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you, hold you close, and give you peace.
DJ Tutorial.com	Jun 6 2007 1:59 PM Some new pages have been put up on the web site to help newbie's to get into DJing. These can be found using the link "NEW DJ advice," there is also a Glossary.

ITP - NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!!!	Jun 4 2007 9:55 AM Whats up Darren Maunu aka Synaptic Distortion? ;) Hope you're feeling good! How was your weekend? The party we we're supposed to go to got cancelled in the last moment, so we (and the other 100 people who came by to Erez's house...) got some vodka instead & had a great time! ;) This week we'll probably continue working on a new Oud-based free-style tune which is turning out a killer! So... any plans for the week? Keep in touch & have a killer time!
