Leon Lowman

Multi-talented, autodidact musician and devoted painter Leon Lowman became interested in synthesizers when he heard ELP’s Lucky Man in 1970. At that time Leon was working for various recording studios and sound companies in California and with his first paycheck he took a down-payment for the ARP 2600-Sythesizer (as well as a Mediamix Joystick for pitch bending) which he still uses today. He used whatever money he could spare towards music gear to develope and reflect his unique melodic wanderings and his beautiful mellow and cosmic classic chilling club-lounge, easy listening and low-fi-surf-beach-synth-sounds. Between 1980 and 1987 Leon released several Tapes and a highly sought-after LP called Syntheseas, which would go on to influence Air’s 'Moon Safari' several years later.
