Didier Soyuz:

Originating from England, UK, Soyuz is a guitarist with a modest but dedicated following of listeners. Known for work in the eighties and nineties with the band Strangefates which mainly focussed on studio recording. Eight critically acclaimed albums are still in circulation on the web. Soyuz' main band projects are now with Bouski: a three piece, actively recording and performing live, regularly broadcasting on the internet. Soyuz most regular appearances across the internet are solo acoustic broadcasts which he as undertaken for the last two and a half years. Allegedly he never intended to be a live solo artist, and was taken aback by the enthusiastic response from listeners. He has stuck to the principle of performing only original songs, and has now racked up a back catalogue of  live versions available as recordings. He is now working on an album for release late 2009 "before I forget how to play the songs" as he puts it. Soyuz' solo and Bouski internet performances are synced up to the virtual world platform Secondlife which allows instantaneous interactivity with listeners. Soyuz continues to explore collaborative work with other artists across the globe, generating success with singer Preciousse Moody from Canada, and a current development to re-unite remaining Strangefates band members, and friends from previous bands.
