The Unquiet Void BIO  »

The Unquiet Void is the electronic alter ego of Jason Wallach. Since 1989, at age 15, he has created a unique style of synthesized ambiance that stirs the soul and stimulates the mind.

Working as a one-man electronic orchestra, Jason composes pieces of celestial ambiance. He has honed his stylings on numerous compilations, some paying tribute to those artists that had influenced him over his 18 year long musical career. Covers of David Bowie, Lycia and Black Tape for a Blue Girl as well as original compositions have gained The Unquiet Void an international following of ethereal and ambient music fans.

On the strength of these songs Jason is sought after for soundtrack work and has scored the independent film Scorpio from Phantom Productions. Scorpio is the first full length CD from The Unquiet Void. A "director's cut" of the film was released on DVD as Dark Night of the Soul by Cutthroat Video in 2002.

His second record, Between the Twilights, released by Middle Pillar Presents, is a representation of his dreams in audio form – from evening to morning twilight – hence the CD's title. Between the Twilights sweeps the listener up with swirls of ethereal soundscapes that subliminally enters the unconsciousness – an ascent into celestial ambiance.

The Unquiet Void's third album is Poisoned Dreams. An original score based upon the "Cthulhu mythos" of late horror fiction maestro H. P. Lovecraft, specifically the stories Dagon, Call of Cthulhu and The Shadow Over Innsmouth, this release is the first installment of a trilogy depicting the events leading up to the subjugation of the human species.

Jason's first live performance as the Unquiet Void took place at Middle Pillar's Holiday Party in NYC, December 2004.

The second installment to the H.P. Lovecraft trilogy, The Shadow-Haunted Outside, was released on Middle Pillar Presents in October 2006. It explores the awakening of the "outer gods" being the consequence of magicks activated from the Necronomicon in Poisoned Dreams. It was voted one of the best albums of 2006 by Reg-Gen Magazine.

The Unquiet Void has also recently finished (April 2006) the soundtrack to the upcoming documentary Montauk Unveiled which is a film combining interviews with people who are said to have been involved in the Montauk Project and interviews with folks who live in Montauk about the Project. The film is directed by writer/director/producer John David Brodie and is photographed by Chris Garetano, director of the popular "Horror Business" documentary. The soundtrack has been modified as a collaborative effort between Jason and Bryin Dall (4th Sign of the Apocalypse, Thee Majesty) and will be released as The Unquiet Void vs. 4th Sign of the Apocalypse.

The Unquiet Void has provided an original score, as well as many of the bizarre sound effects, for the forthcoming Lovecraft-inspired horror film, "Closet Space", from director Mel House and screenwriter Jason Stewart. The film has been submitted to several film festivals and will make its premier in Houston, TX on August 23rd, 2007. - stay tuned as there is much more to come.
