Omnicron
One of Lassen's earliest forays into the (public) musical world was Omnicron—an electronica project. It started in November 1996 after Lassen got his first Yamaha keyboard.[3] He released 11 full-length albums through the old MP3.com over the course of Omnicron's existence.[4]
Digital Dirt Heads
Digital Dirt Heads, an industrial rock project, has been around since at least 1999.[5] Digital Dirt Heads is Justin Lassen, although there have been other band members who joined up (briefly) with Lassen back in 2001, when he was contemplating doing live shows with DDH.[6] Digital Dirt Heads' most recent claim to fame was the inclusion of "The Human Condition" on the Midnight Meat Train soundtrack, produced and remixed by Lassen, which was released July 22, 2008, through Lakeshore Records.[7]
Empire of Modern Thought
Justin Lassen has produced several remixes under the moniker "Empire of Modern Thought", including Madonna, Garbage, Blue Man Group, Fisher, Lenny Kravitz, Robert Miles, Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Majandra, Avril Lavigne and many others.[8]
And Now We See But Through a Glass Darkly
In 2003, Lassen released his dark chamber symphonic suite "And Now We See But Through a Glass Darkly". Since 2003, this dark chamber symphonic suite has racked up over 5.5 million downloads.[9] Lassen has announced that there will be a physical CD release for this work, featuring premium packaging and remastered tracks.[4]
Synaesthesia
Lassen released Synaesthesia—musical tracks he composed that were inspired by the work of several CG artists—in 2006.[10] Since then, the project has gained such popularity that he has done four different synaesthesia releases in all.[4] Lassen released Synaesthesia as a physical CD release, completely remastered, in 2010.[11]
Midnight Meat Train soundtrack
In 2008, Lakeshore Records requested Lassen to do an "inspired by" soundtrack to Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train.[12] It features 14 tracks produced and remixed by Lassen.
Underworld Awakening soundtrack & score
In 2011, Lakeshore Records asked Lassen to do music and remixes for both the soundtrack and score to Underworld: Awakening (2012).[13] Soundtrack features 17 tracks.
