About ron Berry

Pioneered a new type of band (duo) in the UK featuring synthesisers and electronic percussion controlled by a unique novel computer based sequencer which generated the basic rhythmic backing patterns, 1980.

Started performing solo concerts on an expanded 15 channel polyphonic version of the computer driven sequencer system 1983.

Composed and produced more albums, including one long playing record “Osiris” and did more concerts up to 1988.
Started designing audio equipment for DACS Ltd. at end of the eighties.
Got involved doing video and TV/film soundtrack work for David Bellamy Associates Ltd. Did quite a bit of this 1988-98, but continued to compose and record electronic music. To date (2002) 8 albums are complete (see CD catalogue).
Future plans to continue the same, with new projects in the pipeline.
