The Silver Wizard, aka John Goff: A lifelong passion for music and synthesizers crafted the mind and music of John Goff, aka; The Silver Wizard. Born in Encinitas, California, John was more interested in the music of Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk, than enjoying the surf of So. Cal. Throughout his youth, he explored and studied a variety of music , learning theory firsthand by playing bagpipes competively for 14 years. In 1989 he joined the notorious Crash Worship, playing bagpipes and making mayhem, until 1991. He went on to form Physics, an ambient-indie band that kept a national steady cult following until their demise in 2000. During this time, John's exposure to electronic music broadened a great deal. And when Physics broke up, John was free to pursue his first love at full throttle.

The Silver Wizard's sound is strong, melodic techno which has been compared to the likes of the Orb and Orbital, but is unclassifiably unique to itself. With memorable melody lines, intricate compositions and hard,driving beats, the Silver Wizard's music is essential to both easy listeners, as well as the full-on electronica snob. The Silver Wizard released his debut full length LP in 2003 on Chlorophyl Recordings.
