ID: OGNOMO // CHRIS LUCAS

I’m Chris Lucas, also known as oGnomo or Ulterior Silence. With around 10 years of experience as a professional musician and 2 years working in game audio, I compose, record, and design sound for games, from authentic chiptune made with old-school trackers to modern music production.

Retro inspired styles are where I’m most at home, and I love working within the limits of old hardware. That approach carries into all of my music too, which is contemporary in technique but always inspired by the retro games I grew up with.

I trained as a composer, guitarist, and producer, and I’m passionate about tinkering with gear, whether it’s building electronics and instruments from scratch or modding and fixing flea market finds.

ULTERIOR SILENCE

CHIPTUNE / YM2612 / 2024-PRESENT

Ulterior Silence is my personal dark ambient project, built on the Mega Drive/YM2612 sound chip and still in development. The album Echoes of Midras is set in a harsh world beyond a one-way portal, where people deemed “undesirable” for political, cultural or other reasons are cast away and left to survive. At the far end of that portal, a sprawling favela has formed, built from scraps and desperation. The story follows the Wayfarer, a scavenger struggling with his own perception of himself and with the meaning of his life and the lives of others.
