Paradigm Lost - History

Originally, Paradigm Lost was composed primarily of two guys - Shane Matsumoto & Joe Liedtke- who had a lot of friends help as guest musicians on their album. Whenever they performed live, the band with them also varied. The two met at the Fall 1996 music studio engineering recital at Greenville College where they are both students. At the recital, each found interest in each other's projects primarily because they were the only two industrial projects displayed. (Shane's project at that recital is on the Progressive Revelation CD - the song is called "Seperate")

On January 2, 1997, Shane decided he was going to put out an industrial metal CD of his own (initially wanting to name the studio entity Forensic Theologian). He immediately set out to accomplish his goal. Remembering Joe and his project, he asked Joe to help him on a song for the CD ("Reason"). They hit it off so well, they decided to team up as PARADIGM LOST. PARADIGM LOST's first CD was soon created and released as Progressive Revelation. Soon, Ian Baird, a friend of Shane's, moved to Greenville from St. Louis. He was immediately welcomed as the third person in the PARADIGM LOST trinity and the three soon created and released PARADIGM LOST's second album, Human. After a long break, Joe joining The Outsiders, and Ian going solo and releasing a demo of his own, Shane is currently attending the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences in Tempe, AZ and recording a third album (currently untitled). This is where Paradigm Lost stands in 2002!
