Marilyn Roxie

BIO

Marilyn Roxie (b. December 13, 1989) is an independent composer of instrumental music from California who is influenced by: library music, krautrock, post-punk, minimal synth, video game soundtracks, and a vast, ever-growing array of Muses.

Taking an avid interest in music at an early age, she is a self-taught keyboardist. Learning favorite video game tunes by ear quickly led to original compositions on an old CASIO keyboard, graduating to a *new* CASIO in 2000, and finally to a Korg Triton LE Workstation (on which most 2005-2009 tracks available have been made; see also Gear) in 2005.

She released her first compilation, entitled Selected Recordings: 2005 – 2007, digitally on Last.fm in March of 2008, following up with Dark Mist EP in May and Bits in June.  I Dreamt of Sound was released in August, an experiment in dream textures. The first release of 2009 was a compilation of previously unreleased material, Rarities and Demos, followed by the new Ermine EP in May. She recently conducted a weekly workshop on the History of Rock Music, and released her first LP New Limerent Object on 6/6/2009. EP 1 – Earth and EP 2 – Water (both released 8/2009) were EPs made via Internet collaborations with musicians from around the planet, themed around elements of nature. Her first commercial single was “Zug der Krautrock” in 9/2009.  She appears in the personnel of Pi.o.tr’s upcoming Alias Splinters Routine album and recently set up Vulpiano Records, an independent record label geared towards free, Creative Commons singles, EPs, and albums, with purchasables being special compilations and exclusives.
