Biography

A melancholic Progressive Rock solo project from former DREAM THEATER keyboard player Kevin Moore, CHROMA KEY's album 'Dead Air For Radios' was released in the Summer of 1998. FATES WARNING drummer Mark Zonder was involved in the project and band colleague and ex ARMORED SAINT bassist Joey Vera was persuaded to guest on three tracks. Guitarist David Iscore was employed for the 2000 album 'You Go Now'.

During May of 2002 it would be revealed that Moore was entrenched in a new ProgRock 'supergroup' mentored by DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy. The impressive cast list for this venture also cited such esteemed figures as PAIN OF SALVATION frontman Daniel Gildenlöw, erstwhile CYNIC and presently GORDIAN KNOT bassist Sean Malone and FATES WARNING guitarist JIM MATHEOS. Before long Gildenlöw was out of the frame and the band project was being billed as set OSI (Orchestra Of Strategic Influence).

During the latter half of 2003 Kevin Moore would score the soundtrack to the Turkish comedy - horror movie 'Okul' ("The school"), produced by the famous Turkish producer Sinan Cetin and directed by popular Turkish directors the Taylan Brothers. 'Okul' was written by a DREAM THEATER and Kevin Moore fan, Dogu Yucel and based upon the novel 'Hayalet Kitap' ("Ghost Book"), which contains a reference to Kevin Moore's song 'Space Dye-Vest'.

Continuing the Turkish connection, CHROMA KEY's November 2004 album 'Graveyard Mountain Home' was recorded in Istanbul. Joining Moore in the studio would be vocalist Bige Akdeniz, narrator Bob Nekrasov, guitarist Erdem Helvacioðlu, bassist / programmer Theron Patterson and drummer Utku Ünal.
