Rodney Orpheus - Return To The UK

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.

Famous quotes containing the words return to the, return to and/or return:

    Retirement requires the invention of a new hedonism, not a return to the hedonism of youth.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Adolescence is a time when children are supposed to move away from parents who are holding firm and protective behind them. When the parents disconnect, the children have no base to move away from or return to. They aren’t ready to face the world alone. With divorce, adolescents feel abandoned, and they are outraged at that abandonment. They are angry at both parents for letting them down. Often they feel that their parents broke the rules and so now they can too.
    Mary Pipher (20th century)

    I never saw so sweet a face
    As that I stood before:
    My heart has left its dwelling-place
    And can return no more.
    John Clare (1793–1864)
