Return To The UK
In Los Angeles Orpheus spent time working within the movie sound industry and became a strong supporter of surround sound. This led to him moving to Henley-on-Thames and becoming Business Development Manager for the DTS Entertainment surround record label in 2004. During this period he produced the surround albums Planet Earth for LTJ Bukem and A Gigantic Globular Burst of Anti-Static for The Future Sound of London.
In 2007 he reformed the original line-up of The Cassandra Complex.
Orpheus has always been fascinated by games, and has written supplements for the tabletop game Car Wars from Steve Jackson Games. During a long period of recuperation after an operation in 2001 he started designing modules for the computer game Neverwinter Nights, eventually running an online server called The Hidden Tradition and winning a Neverwinter Vault Hall of Fame award. This led him to spend time lecturing in games design at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College in Gloucestershire from 2008–2010.

“This spending of the best part of one’s life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the life of a poet. He should have gone up garret at once.”
