- A musician who has held residencies as diverse as Los Angeles, California and Istanbul, Turkey, Kevin Moore achieved success in the early 90s with the highly recognized progressive metal band Dream Theater. However, in 1994 out of a desire for musical independence, he left the group, appearing once again on the group Fates Warning's 1997 album "A Pleasant Shade of Gray", credited as the keyboardist. A year later, Moore released an album titled "Dead Air for Radios" with the rhythm section of Fates Warning under the name "Chroma Key". He has since released a second album titled "You Go Now" and in late 2004 he released the latest Chroma Key disc "Graveyard Mountain Home". This third Chroma Key release was inspired by a certain educational film from the 1950s. The CD comes with a DVD of the film _Age 13_(1955) where Moore's music is interspersed with the film's original dialogue. On the solo side, Kevin's also put out a diverse collection of material into a project called "Memory Hole I" which feature various musicians. And a film soundtrack for the Turkish horror film _Okul_(2004). Kevin Moore has gained the respect of musicians from various musical styles (though some may argue not enough) and has not shown any sign of stopping.

- About Age 13 (1955) and its adaptation into "Graveyard Mountain Home": "Instead of just developing song ideas out of nowhere and trying to make them all relate somehow I thought I could find an old film that already had a particular mood and texture to it, and then let that film dictate the song's themes and structures, and even the song lengths."
