Biography

Prior to 2010, Com Truise had released music under the pseudonyms Sarin Sunday, SYSTM, and Airliner.[5]

In 2010, the first Com Truise recording, the Cyanide Sisters EP, was released. Initially, the EP was a free download from the AMDISCS record label.[6] Ghostly International digitally reissued it in January 2011.[7] Haley resigned from his job as art director prior to this release. Com Truise remixed Daft Punk's song "ENCOM, Part II" for the Tron: Legacy Reconfigured album soon after. In June 2011, he released his debut album, Galactic Melt.[8] In Decay was the immediate full-length followup in 2012. Com Truise's songs are represented by Downtown Music Publishing.[when?]

Haley is from Oneida, New York, and now resides in Orlando, Florida.[citation needed]

In February 2022, Com Truise produced the music for Coinbase's viral Super Bowl LVI advertisement. He sampled the Beatles' cover of "Money (That's What I Want)".[9] In April 2022, he released a course on producing music with online music school Soundfly.[10]

Style

Truise's sound is synthesizer-heavy synthwave, influenced by 1980s musical styles, as first offered on the Cyanide Sisters EP; he calls his style "mid-fi synthwave slow-motion funk".[11]

The "Com Truise" saga

All of the Com Truise albums, starting with Cyanide Sisters and ending with Iteration, tell the story of a space traveller named Com Truise;[12][13] Haley described the character as a "synthetic astronaut",[14] and the story as a tale about escaping an oppressed society.[15]

Equipment

Truise uses a mix of digital and analogue hardware, including emulations of classic synthesisers and romplers. According to a 2015 MusicRadar interview, his DAWs of choice are Reason and Ableton.[16]

Since 2017, he has incorporated the Dave Smith Instruments OB-6 on some tracks, also using it during live performances.[17]
