Welcome to Shayne's World! This is the official Web Site of talented Electronic Music composer and recording artist Shayne White.

Shayne's music brings back traditional concepts of composition and live performance sensibilities to the Electronic Music genre. His debut solo album, The Opposite Way, introduces a new sort of music made with synthesizers that is sonically innovative, yet remains true to fine art forms and reestablishes a sense of the human touch. Upbeat, dynamic, and melodic, Shayne's thematic compositions, paired with his deft handling of digital and virtual analog synthesizers, ensures that his music will be appreciated and enjoyed by all kinds of art enthusiasts world-wide — even those not typically interested in Electronic Music. Wresting the modern concept of the Electronic Music genre away from the current club/dance Electronica scene, he proves that music made with synthesizers can be just as "real" as music made with traditional acoustic instruments.

Listen to sound clips of The Opposite Way today!

Shayne is also a harper in the Celtic band Distant Oaks and has recorded three albums in the Celtic Music genre to date. In addition to his music projects, he enjoys writing fiction and other activites. Stay tuned for more information!
