Scot Solida has been making electronic music for over 40 years, much of it under the name of Christus and the Cosmonaughts.
For the past two decades, he has written articles and tutorials in the subject of music technology for Computer Music, Future Music, Electronic Musician, MusicRadar, to name a few. Additionally, his samples and patches have been included in products from Apple, Computer Music magazine, Arturia, LinPlug, PPG, VirSyn, PSP Audioware, Polyend and many more. Now retired, he spends his time in a secluded farmhouse, patching synths, practicing the lute, and drawing whimsical pictures.
