John Gocha' (BMI) - Keyboards, Synth's, Drum Machines, Effects, CPU's John Gocha' is frequently accused of being a Futurist and a Visionary. While being able to develope magical sparks of ambient and post modern sub-club poppish electro-acid-jazz-trance tones that dig down, deep into the spine of todays cutting edge music scene, Mr. Gocha' creates a very special place in your soul, where the standards of todays culture don't quite seem to fit in (yet).
These sounds are "space-based" in origin, while being sharp at times, with transient distant memories of somewhat more familiar sounds of orchestral music of years gone by. Mr. Gocha' is a thinker, a powerhouse of storage, filled with the very information it takes to produce unimagineable Soundstracks, CD's and Ambient noise.
He was once told how his music changed the way people think and dream, and how we should all be "in tune" with all living creatures on this earth. Some think that society will evolve into itself, but he say's that "we will probably evolve into a self contained, semi-electronic pop culture, of "hybrid-human" robots, capable of anything electronic"! This time traveler comes up with some incredible sounds for Film/TV Soundtracks and should not be overlooked.
Mr. Gocha' has been involved in the Motion Picture Industry for nearly 40 years, having roles in many, many Feature Films and Television Programs. Behind the scenes, designing and building props, models, miniatures, and building sets, Mr. Gocha' has shown his outstanding talents to us all ! Currently, Mr. Gocha' has eight record labels, with a roster of 70 artists, ranging from rock & roll to electronica; two television series, and two film production companys.
Planet Earth Records/Films is a totally self-contained Digital Audio/Post Production, and Digital FX/Graphics Studio, at a secret location in Los Angeles. (Dianna Shaw@Keyboard Magazine)
