Vascular Symphony was originally created as a solo project in 1998 by Theodore Sharpless in Brooklyn, NY. Theodore recorded his songs on a computer system he painstakingly gathered parts for, and built himself. A unique sound was born utilizing computer sequenced drum tracks, bass guitar (with heavy distortion), samples, and vocals. In 2000, Theodore moved to Tampa, FL and played a cassette tape of his songs for college friend, Philip T. Lacinak. They promptly began writing, rehearsing, and recording, and played their first live show in December of that year. Vascular Symphony has been strengthening their craft ever since, playing over one hundred and fifty live shows throughout the south eastern United States.

Vascular Symphony creates heavy, industrial rock music which is loosely based on the mysteries of unexplained phenomenon. Their live show is synonymous to the explosive energy of their sound. Vascular Symphony presents a very intense show both visually and sonically, incorporating unique costuming and custom built staging and lighting. Vascular Symphony has a philosophy of giving the audience a complete and total show, no matter how big or small the venue may be. Thom Butler, the owner of the Bodhisattva Social Club, had this to say about Vascular Symphony after they played his small Orlando, FL club for the first time,

“They’re like an arena show in a shot glass!”

There are four members of Vascular Symphony:
Theodore Sharpless – bass guitar
Philip T. Lacinak – lead vocals
Christoffer Welteson – lead guitar

Vascular Symphony is currently based in Orlando, FL. The band self produced, recorded and released their first official EP entitled “10” in July of 2006. “10” generated a lot of attention, and is receiving regular airplay on Rollins College radio (WPRK 91.5 FM – Orlando, FL).
