Keyfish -- a.k.a. swegmanhattan -- a.k.a. ron P. swegman -- is a studio session keyboardist, synthesist, and sound designer who has collaborated with several east coast studios. Solo, Keyfish creates original electronic music whenever time and space permit. He composes, performs, and records live Lo-Fi electro using a tightly integrated rig of small synths, drum machines, effects processors, and a four-track digital recorder. His process is to build and record a track in real time. He often starts with an original beat or bass sequence, then adds effects, phases in a sustained arpeggiated melody or synth texture, and finally brings the whole composition into fruition with contrasting melodies and chord progressions played on keysynths. He is a proponent of hardware for the making of music and relies on software only to upload and host his compositions. When not music making, he is also an author and illustrator with two books -- Philadelphia on the Fly and Small Fry: The Lure of the Little -- to his credit.
