raised in the chicagoland area of indiana, cynthia experienced the disco/house transition of the early 80s and the house/rave transition in the early 90s, but she waited to purchase gear and teach herself to dj until she moved to pdx in 2000. she attributes the encouragement to move from spectator to participant solely to portland’s positive attitude toward women in music of all forms. the years in between bear witness to a love story between a girl and music of all kinds… from the beatles to ac/dc, kraftwerk, bikini kill & underworld, with a memory attached to every song in between. in high school cynthia learned classical music through playing the flute and piccolo but gave that up when she was old enough to go see live bands. finally, armed with proper instruments, a technical backrground from previous employment, and a lifetime of care and attention to music, she could finally give back to this thing that had brought her to every positive person and place in her experience: music.

shortly after becoming familiar with portland’s underground dance scene, cynthia met now partner in crime, derek fisher. together as spandecks syndicate they have brought their version of electro, dubbed “sexy robot music” to nearly every portland venue and are on the verge of doing so in seattle as well. recently they produced moonphase: full – a club event featuring a freaky chakra live pa performance and the release of his moonroof operator CD, and performances by sean cusick of hallucination ltd., harlyn davis, and the spandecks syndicate. their next step is to complete a home studio in which to begin their production efforts. 2005 slates the launch of the spandecks syndicate record label. meanwhile, cynthia has been within the sisterpdx collective, setting up and performing at their events [such as glow @ 1201 and passion @ cool school], contributing creative input, conducting meetings/potlucks, and supporting and encouraging females in portland to make that same move from musical spectator to contributor.
