Scifi Funk is the long-running music project of an independent electronic musician, songwriter, and synth player with roots in 1980s home-studio culture and a lifetime spent making records.
I bought my first synthesizer as a teenager — a Roland SH-101 — followed shortly by a Casio CZ-101. With no band, no label, and no distractions, I learned how to write, arrange, record, and finish music the hard way: alone, in a bedroom studio, one track at a time.
That approach never really stopped.
Over the decades I’ve worked with analogue synths, early samplers, drum machines, digital workstations, software instruments, and hybrid setups. Some periods leaned heavily electronic, others brought in bass guitar, real drums, and more overt groove and funk influences. What stayed constant was the process.
To date I’ve released 65 finished tracks publicly, with several hundred additional demos, sketches, and works-in-progress behind them. Many of those earlier pieces are now being carefully restored, revised, or completed — sometimes from original cassette recordings — and released on a steady schedule.
Most of my non-Christian music sits somewhere between classic electronic music (before it had genre names), synthwave and retro-futurist styles, and funk-influenced electronic groove. Much of it is instrumental, designed to stand on its own without explanation.
Alongside this, I create synth demos and tutorials — focused on real instruments, vintage gear, and software recreations. These are musical demonstrations, not marketing exercises.
A significant part of my catalogue is Christian music.
These songs are built directly from scripture, often weaving together multiple passages within a single piece. The goal is simple: let the words do the work.
This work exists both to encourage a return to scripture-anchored songwriting within the church, and to introduce listeners to Jesus Christ through music that is thoughtful, grounded, and biblically rooted.
I work independently by choice. I don’t chase labels, I don’t pay to boost posts, and I don’t build music for algorithms. The website and YouTube channel are the long-term centre of gravity, supported by regular releases on Bandcamp and streaming platforms.
If you’re here, it’s because you followed a piece of music, a video, or a recommendation. That’s exactly how this project is meant to grow.
