Stephen Huss (August 19, 1967 – August 2, 2015)[1] was a founding member of the Canadian dark synthpop band Psyche.[2]

Career

Stephen Huss formed Psyche in 1981 with his brother Darrin Huss. He was unable to continue in live performance after 1989 due to his ongoing struggle with schizophrenia.[3] He continued recording with the band into the early 90's, after Darrin had relocated to Germany, but discontinued songwriting with the band after the release of "Intimacy" in 1994.[4][5] He had kept a relatively low profile since that time, but had released three solo albums released in the 2000s followed by a fourth, posthumously released by his brother on what would have been his 48th birthday.[6]

Solo discography

He has released five solo albums. The albums are largely instrumental. The last two releases were put out posthumously as digital downloads on what would have been his subsequent birthdays. The second album, Lost Oasis, features guest vocals on "Conjure" by his brother Darrin Huss. "Notes Of A Lifetime" also features a demo entitled "For Another Day" that was recorded by the two brothers in 1999 to develop future Psyche songs in the original lineup. [7]
