Seth Haley, known by his stage name Com Truise is an American electronic musician.[3] His stage name is a spoonerism of the name of American actor Tom Cruise.[4]
Biography[]
Pre-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] He 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?]
He is from Oneida, New York and now resides in Orlando, Florida.
Style[]
Truise's sound is synthesizer-heavy synthwave, influenced by 1980s musical styles, as first offered on the Cyanide Sisters EP.
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;[9][10] Haley described the character as a "synthetic astronaut",[11] and the story as a tale about escaping an oppressed society.[12]
Equipment[]
Since 2017, Truise has incorporated Dave Smith Instruments Ob-6 analogue keyboard on some tracks and for live performances.[13]
