Based in the Netherlands, Byte Plantation is a one man Electronic music project which started in the late nineties. He initially worked with a lot of hardware like synthesizers, samplers, and effect racks, and later shifted towards purely software and computer based music composition and production. Byte Plantation's tracks are psychedelic, atmospheric, and sometimes there's even a hint of Rock and other interesting styles.
