Transparent Illusion biography
Transparent Illusion was the brainchild of Roy Young (a pseudonym), hailing from Haverhill, Suffolk, UK. Equipped with just one synthesizer and a drum machine, he entered Octopus Studios located in Stowupland, Suffolk sometime in 1980 to record a minimal electronic music album. Roy?s music is quite unique and exemplifies the fact that limitation can be the perfect source for heightened creativity: his rather raw sound is based solely on his Korg MS-10 synthesizer, a monophonic synth. Still you also get bass, monophonic lead synths, effects as well as synthetic percussion. Engineer Dave Hoser is said to have helped in the performance, thus it can be concluded that, as a team they truly mastered the MS-10.
Transparent Illusion is an artist that populates a small fraction inside Prog Electronic ? one that comes very close to Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Ultravox and other such new wave acts, but on here the emphasis always lies with the synthesizer and a continuing experimentation with the scope of this instrument inside the framework of early 1980s popular music.
