John Rossi III

John Rossi III first became involved in electronic music in 1972, and in 1973 acquired Synthi-AKS and EML-101 synthesizers and learned subtractive synthesis and sequencing.

In 1975, John teamed up with Pascal Languirand (a.k.a. TransX) and Pierre Benard to form a trio that played and recorded electronic/space music in Pascal’s studio. Session players would frequently enter the mix and by late 1975 the Zap Jam idiom was born.

In 1985, he became a member of pre-internet newsgroups and email lists that were also frequented by Mike Metlay. The two met in 1989, and soon thereafter John became a regular in Mike’s band Team Metlay, and appears on each of their 3 CD releases.

He spends his creative time developing electronic music for the DTS 5.1 format in his CrystaLogic Productions studio in Florida.
