A teenage electronic composer from Virginia, working in happy-hardcore, trance, and Europop. The sounds of Dune, Blümchen, and BT.
She started composing at seven, named herself VTM at eleven, and by sixteen had written six hundred and ninety-five songs. She finished thirty-two albums by the time she was twenty. Eighty-six of her tracks have been recovered, nearly all of them shared back by friends and old forum connections who still had the files.

Still searching · 609+ songs out there
She wrote 695 songs.
86 are here so far, and counting.
The rest live on CDs in drawers, on hard drives in closets, in forum threads that haven't been read in twenty years. The most recent recovery arrived two decades after she made it. Which is to say, we're still early.
