Biography
Sega began writing MOD music in 1993 for the demo group Psychic Monks. Through the mid 1990s he contributed music to various demo and music groups, and music disks such as Epidemic (1994), featuring other noted tracker musicians like Purple Motion and Skaven.
Sega later helped form the legendary tracking group Five Musicians, which featured other notable figures, such as Jeroen Tel, Basehead and Hunz. He has also programmed and/or composed music for several demoscene productions, such as the NAID ‘95 demo Eden and 1996 demo Babylon.
Later in his career, he left demoscene and started making music for video games, beginning with little known titles such as In Pursuit of Greed, Iron Seed and Xixit, then moving on to Origin Systems’ Crusader series, where he worked as a software engineer and composer. Sega was a founding member of the video game music production company Straylight Productions, contributing tracks to the first-person shooters Unreal and Unreal Tournament. Later, he joined Digital Anvil (now a part of Microsoft Game Studios), and worked as a programmer and musician on Freelancer. In 2006 he founded his own gaming company known as Diffusion Games.
In 2001, Sega founded The Alpha Conspiracy, an IDM-pop project, and released two albums, Cipher (2001) and Aura (2004), and an EP with Low Technicians, Forward Rewinding (2002). He also founded Diffusion Records, an independent record label through which he would release his first Alpha Conspiracy album. Gradually, Diffusion Records became a full-featured label, releasing albums by Iris, CTRL, Low Technicians, and Kilowatts and Vanek.
Sega was introduced to Iris in 2001. He started working on some test tracks with Reagan Jones before becoming an official member in 2002.
He is also a live member of industrial hip hop group Stromkern.
