Transient sez:

"Transient" is an electronic music group which specialises in techno and
house/dance tracks, yet also journeys into the fields of drum'n'bass/jungle
and the more pure, hard-edged forms of trance, goa and acid.

At present, we have three members: phia, Zee and Naf. We're always on the
lookout for more, so if you'd like to join, simply get in touch with us at
one of the above addresses.

phia sez:

A little piece of goa inspired techno with a nice repeating beeper rhythm
with the filtered technique courtesy of, strangely enough, filter(!) in the
sample editor. Some good moments in this one.

If you like this song but feel there could be some changes made, then get
cracking and make a remix! Send it to me and i might upload it as a
Transient guest-release-remix thingy.

Serious news now.

It's confession time. Homer j and phia are one and the same person. Long ago
i decided to create a phantom artist to 1) make Transient look like it had
more members and 2) have a name to release any modules under which i felt
weren't quite up to Homer j's standard either in style or quality, but were
still worthy of release.

This worked fine until I didn't want the Homer j handle anymore. A bit too
copyrighty i thought. So i made Homer j leave. And his reputation followed.

I brought Homer j back, (release 71) but i was still stuck with the name. I
had to come clean.

So now i ask forgiveness from all those Homer j fans out there and plead
with them to understand that it's not easy to run a music group, especially
when you're using a program that's shunned as much as OctaMED is.

I have now decided on using the name phia (which, incidentally, is supposed
to be pronounced "fire") fulltime and abolish the Homer j name. So although
the name is gone, his legacy and reputation live on.

Thanks to all those who wrote to me about Homer j's modules, including:
