Bio

Mel Cepstral is an American composer of uncertain pedigree. Having given up on a career in chemical engineering (a D average was not considered acceptable), Cepstral attended a series of unfortunate music schools until he fell in with the wrong crowd. After spending two and a half years living at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica, he now resides in modest accomodations at the base of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma in the Canary Islands, composing on a pair of Linux servers surplused from NOAA ozone-monitoring projects, one of which he has gently convinced to run Windows XP. He also has a snazzy new PowerBook. He sends us dispatches whenever his unreliable satelite internet service is up.
