Real name: Rick White

Effective period / Period of releases: 2002

Perplexis was a sporadic project involving the use of Casio or Yamaha porta sound keyboards to create songs. "I have lots of tapes like this starting in 1990 but the Perplexis name was started in 1998. It's usually kind of improvised and each project has a number, like Perplexis #1." (Rick) White recalls part three occurring at an Elevator show where he and Tara (White) improvised music with an analog synth and tape loops. "The only one to ever be released was called Perplexis #7 and came out in early 2002 on CD-R through my Great Beyond Recordings label. About a hundred sold. It's quite a bit far out and some fans who bought it didn't really get it, I've heard, but some have really dug it. Anyhow, Perplexis is just a name for that kind of stuff."
