Composer and arranger Gregory Kyryluk has been composing music since acquiring his first professional keyboard, a Moog synthesizer, back in the early 1980s. Primarily a self-taught musician, Gregory has recorded as Alpha Wave Movement since 1992.

According to Kyryluk, Alpha Wave Movement’s musical style can be considered an amalgam of classic 1970s period German style electronic music, otherwise known as Berlin-school, and the ambient aesthetics of Brian Eno, John Serrie and Steve Roach.

Alpha Wave Movement’s music is all electronic-based, utilizing digital synthesizers and MIDI to create its sonic explorations. Aside from the musical influences, Kyryluk says that nature and natural landscapes are a continuous source of inspiration for his compositions.

Alpha Wave Movement has performed at the Ambient Ping Canada and at the Gathering Room USA, and has released music on the Dutch label Groove Unlimited, Silent Records (USA), Waveform Records (USA), Spiralight (USA) and on the private label Harmonic Resonance Recordings. Alpha Wave Movement’s other projects include Thought Guild, Open Canvas, and solo releases.

Kyryluk recently released a DVD entitled Terra, which features ambient music and images of the natural landscapes of New Zealand. The DVD video was made via a collaborative effort with electronic musician Rudy Adrian.

Here’s a video that features music from Kyryluk’s Alpha Wave Movement release, A Distant Signal, paired with space images:
