[edit] Fractal Glider
McCosh began his career under the stage name Fractal Glider. McCosh was noted for his original high energy sound, and for being representative of the Melbourne psychedelic/trance scene.[1] He appeared mainly in Australia, Japan and New Zealand, but also participated in parties and festivals in Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France and Belgium, including the Earthcore electronic music festival.[2]
McCosh began composing trance music in 1995, prior to which he worked as a sound engineer. He released two albums. His debut album, Parasite was released on Boom Records (Netherlands). His second and last album, Digital Mandala featured several new tracks and a remix of "Mezmorized". To promote this album McCosh went on an international tour through Japan, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Hungary and Austria in 2003.[citation needed] Fractal Glider has also released singles on 14 compilations on different labels worldwide.[citation needed]
Fractal Glider appeared on the television program Sounds Like Techno, produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 2003.[3]
[edit] Liquid
Along with Ozzy, another Australian artist, Paul McCosh formed the group Liquid. The music features a fusion of electronic beats with rock riffs. The act established itself on the international scene with many sellout appearances throughout Japan and Australia.[citation needed] Liquid's last known release of music was in 2007.[4]

McCosh's later activities are unknown. As late as 2008 he was apparently still recording music.[5]
