Ken Moore is a multi-instrumentalist who comes from Baltimore, Maryland, and very early decided to incorporate synthesis into his art. 

Moore started to explore electronic music in the mid ’70s and in 1980 he established his own label, Anvil Creations, and in the following four years released approximately 20 tapes of solo and collaborative works he had recorded between 1973 and 1983.

His solo work of that era bridges abstract electronic music with synthesizers and Mellotron and more psychedelic rock-based material he had primarily produced in the early to mid ’70s.

He also collaborated with Stuart Rosenzweig and founded the progressive rock duo Moore/Myers with David Wayne Myers. Moore was also very active in James Finch’s International Electronic Music Association (IEMA) until he took a break in the late 80s.

After a long public hiatus he returned in 2013 and has been active ever since.
