TAXI

Geoff Nostrant - Silvercord

Growing up under the rural thumb of Michigan, I was raised on the old psychedelic rock records my dad insisted on playing. As a teen, I grew tired of the local's undying love of the classic rock scene.

I began to listen to ambient /space radio programs late at night under the stars. I was hooked on the weightless, wondrous feelings of ethereal music. Flash forward to the university years. I was introduced to the marriage of ethereal space music and rock/pop. That was it for me. I began to record/produce tracks that reflected the dreamy feeling that resonated in me when I listened to ambient music. I then graduated from Eastern Michigan University's music program, my major instrument was classical guitar.

12 years later, I am now living in Korea. I am still completely in love with making music. The Korean music industry is just as unforgiving as the States. As a challenge to myself, I have been creating radio friendly music while maintaining my dream-like style. I also write solo and collaborate with original Silvercord members and ambient composers on musical projects every day. There is no sign of stopping!

Since, I have been with taxi, I have secured multiple song library contracts with multiple music libraries.

I have recently opened a music mixing/mastering business: www.blackswanaudio.com

Published works: My work has appeared on ambient compiliations such as fellow ambient musician Brennan Lane’s “Distant Friends" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012DGPPS

I also write, produce, and sing songs in the Korean language

I keep my plate of musical passion full as possible!
