The Orion Syndrome first appeared in the early 90's as a progressive synth & guitar based band, playing art-rock covers and originals in Orlando, FL clubs. The Orion Syndrome is the name under which David Hearn has produced his music, as it was his performing band's name throughout the 90's. There were several incarnations of the band, with many talented musicians supporting his songwriting and sequencing. A musician since the age of 10, David Hearn started his first band in 1980 with his good friend Henry "Skip" Flower. Later bands included Infinity, Matrix, Wax, The Orion Syndrome, and Orion Starbirth. As David's major influences are members of Pink Floyd, The Who, Rush, and the Moody Blues, he tends to write progressive rock; guitar & synth oriented material. The music can range from dark, brooding opuses to uplifting & hopeful pop tunes. The Moodies influence and the Pink Floyd influence are in constant battle! Mixing his interest in space & astronomy with the progressive and classic rockers of the 70s & 80s, David has created complex space music which has been described as "105% Triumphant". With several Top 10 hits on the banner music site "MP3.Com", David's music is an essential part of any classic rock lover's playlist. Read more on Last.fm.
