Welcome

Welcome to perkXsoundlabs, a musical production project by Paul Rolan Perkes, ASCAP. My music style is electronica, with strong influences from progressive trance, modern classical, progressive rock, psytrance, dubstep and chiptune. You can use this website to keep up to date concerning my musical projects and listen to (and hopefully purchase) my music.

Unlike most artists, I let you listen to my music in fully complete tracks once a composition is in the semi-final stage of production and has a home on an album; before it is actually published and available for purchase. I use Soundcloud to accomplish this. My main goal is for you to be able to listen to my music. I do, however, need you to purchase my albums (or even individual songs) so I can continue to make music and carry on with my creative journey, but being heard is my first goal. The music that you purchase from iTunes, Amazon/MP3 or CD Baby represents the final, fully polished production and is of much higher quality than that which you can listen to using Soundcloud.

Listen

You can listen to my top 10 songs below. [Updated 2013-01-13] Make sure to check out the first track, "Hidden Places". This is my favorite of all the songs I have composed so far. It is from my upcoming album, Hidden. You can also listen to tracks from the individual albums under the Music tab.

If you don't see the player above (Firefox), you can listen directly on SoundCloud.

Free Music

You can download the track Brane Worlds from String Theory for free. There are more free downloads smattered about the site, so explore! If you do download any of my free tracks, all that I would ask is that you join my mailing lists (use the widget in the right-hand column).

Reviews

"In effect, perkXsoundlabs bridges the gap between space music and dance without any hiccups. The music is moving, authentic, and cinematic... at least in this dimension." 5 Stars (out of 5) — Mathew Forss

"...with so much electro-offal that passes as "music", given the modern proliferation of color-by-numbers synthesizers and easy-bake home recording equipment, anything that attempts to carve out its own inner space without leaning on tired and conventional beat-isms is worthy of something akin to renown. And String Theory manages that well, as the album is nothing if not dancing to its own personal muse." — Reed Burnam
