Biography
"usr/sbin"is a project of Dennis Moser... I am an experimental soundscape/ambient musician and visual artist; trained as a classical musician (guitar, trombone, recorder, Renaissance lute). Now working with various permutations of guitars, synthesizer, and computer-based compositions, I perform live improvisational music and utilize looping techniques to create richly-layered tapestries of sound.
As avatar "AldoManutio Abruzzo", I have been a regular live performer in the Second Life online environment since the winter of 2006. Three of my soundtracks were selected as Finalists in the 2007 European Machinima Competition (see the Media section). I was voted "Best of Second Life: Performing Artist, 2007" and have pioneered solo improvisational music there.
Instrumentation
Dennis Moser ... guitars and guitar-synth/guitar-driven synthesizers.
