Rootstock @ Wyldflowr: Steve McQuarry Working as Synsor

Steve McQuarry is an avant-garde audio and visual performer-composer renowned for his
groundbreaking work in experimental music, where he performs and records under his moniker Synsor, on his independent label, Mandala Records. With a focus on electronic soundscapes and digital visuals, Steve's creations traverse the realms of ambient, drone, noise, and beats. His journey into electronic music began in high school, where an encounter with a neglected synthesizer sparked a lifelong passion. This pivotal moment led Steve to explore and innovate, becoming a pioneer in synthesis.

A sought-after collaborator, Steve has worked alongside legends like Dizzy Gillespie, John Cage, and Laurie Anderson, leaving an indelible mark on the music scene. As the driving force behind Synsor, his independent label Mandala Records hosts his boundary-pushing performances.

Often described as "sci-fi," with sounds ranging from airy to intense, Steve explores ambient, drone, noise and beat themes in his audio and visual work.
Beyond the stage, Steve is deeply involved in the music industry, holding memberships in
prestigious organizations like AES, BMI, and SEAMUS. Other performances in 2024 have been featured artist in on the Buchla-TipTop 200t series and the Serge 73-75 paper face modular synthesizers at Modular World and Earth Modular Society.
Currently, he anticipates the release of an electro-acoustic, field recording and modular synthesis album, showcasing his composing prowess in 2025.
