Kevin Moore

Kevin Moore, born on May twenty-six, nineteen sixty-seven, is a multifaceted American musician renowned for his work as a keyboardist, composer, and songwriter. He is best known as the founder of the Chroma Key music project and for his significant contributions to the progressive metal band Dream Theater, where he played a pivotal role in shaping the band's early sound.

Moore's journey in music began with Dream Theater, where he contributed to the first three studio albums. However, he departed from the band during the mixing of their album Awake to explore his own artistic vision. This decision led him to establish Chroma Key in nineteen ninety-eight, through which he has released a series of electronica and ambient music albums, starting with Dead Air for Radios.

In addition to his solo endeavors, Moore co-founded the progressive rock supergroup O.S.I. with Fates Warning guitarist Jim Matheos in two thousand two. This collaboration blends progressive metal with electronic elements, culminating in the release of their fourth album, Fire Make Thunder, in March two thousand twelve. Moore's versatility is further showcased through his guest appearances on several albums, including three by Fates Warning.

Moore's artistic pursuits extend beyond music; while residing in Costa Rica, he produced a bi-weekly radio program for Radio for Peace International, which was later compiled into Memory Hole 1. His time in Turkey saw him producing the debut album for the Turkish band Makine and composing soundtracks for two films. The first soundtrack, for the film Okul, was released in two thousand four as Ghost Book, followed by the soundtrack for Küçük Kiyamet, titled Shine, in two thousand ten.
