Welcome to the Amaxis site.

The Amaxis CD, Astral Images, contains 14 contemporary instrumental tracks blending Progressive Rock, Power Pop and a sprinkling of other genres. Essential listening for the rock instrumental fan (check out the reviews).

Amaxis is my project - my name is Ralph Oleski and the writer, producer and only musician playing on the CD. Sort of a one man band, if you will. I've loved music since I first picked up a saxophone in the 4th grade. And now many years later, that love still hasn't changed. Although the main instrument these days is the guitar, I've tinkered with keyboards, drums and various wind instruments. Along the way I've had a lot of musical related experiences, which include: Recording studio engineer / Studio session musician / Producer / Published songwriter / Toured with many bands in various genres of music / Guitar instructor / Received accolades from various song writing competitions / MIDI - digital music editing for various artists / live performance with the George Hatcher Band.

The Amaxis CD is hard to pigeon hole into a specific category. I guess the over all category would be instrumental progressive / pop / rock, there are other influences mixed in as well. And that's me... I really like many styles of music and didn't really want to be limited to one style of music on this CD. The CD was put together over about a year. I used drum programming, synthesizers either played on a keyboard by me or using a guitar MIDI controller and of course 'real' guitar, buzzing away all over the place.

The songs really do convey a 'feel' or 'feeling' I had while composing them. A lot of images in my head went into what you will hear... so in essence, you'll get inside my head... creating your own images... hmmm...

Please check out my site and the philosophy that goes with this CD. Thanks much for your support and the support of independent music. Thanks for visiting!
