I STATRTED THIS PROJECT IN 1999 AFTER BUYING MY FIRST COMPUTER AND SEQUENCER FOLLOWED BY MANY OTHER INSTRUMENTS AS I PROGRESSED. THE SONGS HAVE A DANCE/TECHNO FEEL TO THEM AND I THINK ALSO A SPOOKY FEEL TO THEM. THE SONGS WERE CREATED USING SOME OF THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE AND THE VOCALS WERE SAMPLED USING A MICROCOMPUTER. ENJOY!

Elektra was born in 1999 from the experiments performed by Leonard Michael Ives. As the name suggests, the music is pure electronica.

Listening to tracks like "Let It Roll" and "Let's Go Party" is soothing and stimulating at the same time. You'll want to dance and let yourself go as the waves of music sweep over you.

Then you hear the eerie urgency of "Ready For War" and "Life Is Bigger" tapping into the zeitgeist and driving you on. Disturbingly real and unnervingly provoking.

Elektra provides darkness and light with upbeat music that has a hard industrial edge. The rhythm is dance and the vocals are trance - a great floor-filling combination!
