Synthesizers in Space began at a music store called Switched On in Austin, TX and the discovery of a vintage “mystery-box” instrument hidden amongst the old synths and organs that created sounds and textures unlike anything currently in his sonic arsenal. The result was a focused attack in the studio, creating a set of 11 new tracks based around the “mystery box”, and
a range of psychedelic grooves. Synthesizers in Space is a diverse, densely layered collection from a musician known for his ability to blend sunny melodies, smoky grooves and propulsive rhythms into his own inimitable sound.

Lee’s prolific recording career – 30 plus albums and counting. He made ten titles of cinematic instrumental music as the Ping Pong Orchestra, collaborated with artists such as Clutchy Hopkins, Money Mark, Amy Winehouse, Lana Del Rey, Alicia Keyes, Adrian Younge and Bei Bei, composed music for film, video games (award winning video game composer for “Bully”) and television shows, including HBO’s Eastbound and Down, Lost, Criminal Minds, and toured with artists like Phoenix, Zero 7, Sigur Ros and Thievery Corporation.
