 MobyGames - Kasson Crooker
Kasson began his career in the music industry after attending Berklee College of Music (music production and engineering major) at Lexicon where he worked in QA on products like the PCM90, MPX1, and 960, also making an abundance of presets for those devices.
His first title there was the 2000 game FreQuency which he did lead audio production on, and composed the songs under the band name's Freezepop, Symbion Project, DJ HMX, and Komputer Kontroller.
Kasson other main hobbies are his bands Freezepop and Symbion Project.

  Lilith Fair: Artists: Splashdown
Crooker's influences include '80s synth bands from Depeche Mode to Abba, darker, noisier bands such as Nine Inch Nails and atmospheric, noirish ones like Portishead.
Adds Crooker, "One of the things we do well is making that work without it sounding forced." Still, despite all the intricacies of the arrangements, Splashdown is still all about the song at the center.
The band formed in Boston in 1997, when Buhler and Crooker - who played together in an "ethereal goth band" - hooked up with Rhode Island native Kaplan, who was cutting her musical teeth in an exotic performance-art collective.

Kasson: What ended up being cool as that even though we didn’t fit stylistically with the game, the songs are really fun to play and actually I think people really liked it because it gave them a mix, it gave people something different to play than just a lot of metal songs.
Kasson: The reason there is 2 fold; one is that we wanted to be able to put the well-known songs earlier in the game.
Kasson: We had kind of been mutual fans of each others “things” but we never really any direct contact with them until we played at arcadia which is in Montreal….

 Splashdown
It is said he is also working on a compilation (that may or may not tbe the same project) that will include a few collaborations with Melissa, and perhaps a completed studio version of Splashdown's last made unrecorded song, titled Nomadic.
Kasson has gone on under various pseudonyms to work on creating some beats for the above mentioned PS2 games, then set to work on the Symbion Project, where he has mixed some original work and done remixes of some old Splashdown songs as well ( www.symbionproject.com).
She arranged introductions between her husband Adam (a guitarist with whom she co-owned the independent label Castle von Buhler Records), a keyboardist she had met on a train named Kasson Crooker, and singer Melissa Kaplan (who had been a back-up vocalist in Cynthia's performance-art group Women of Sodom).

 Gimp's Musings: 06/01/2004 - 06/30/2004
I was very excited to learn last week that the lead singer of Splashdown, Melissa Kaplan, is in the process of recording a solo album, as the "band" Universal Hall Pass.
She's even working with some of the people that worked with her and former Splashdown members Kasson Crooker and Adam Buhler to make Splashdown such an amazing group of entertainers.
Kasson Crooker, on the other hand, has long sense been a part of the band Freezepop and also has some of his own work under the name of Symbion Project.

 SNEAKY RECORDS +HOME UNIVERSAL HALL PASS MERCURY
Universal Hall Pass returns with a six song EP.
This is a collaboration between Melissa R Kaplan and former Splashdown band mate Kasson Crooker also known as Symbion Project and the Duke of the popular synthpop trio Freezepop.
Subtle Things takes a beautifully dark "fantastic planet" tinged journey into a three part story of power and melancholy followed by three Symbion Project remixes from UHP's debut album Mercury.

 Seventh-Circle.Com
With his second album, Immortal Game, Crooker stakes what I find to be a very reasonable claim to offer the latest cutting edge music in this often overlooked genre.
As is common in trip hop, the disc’s 11 tracks are all slow to mid tempo exercises in ambient atmospherics that feature electro soul grooves combined with wistful, almost sad melodies awash in an endless array of intriguing synthesized soundscapes and what I assume are samples on occasion.
Normally I’m a person who prefers an album to be more dramatic, with many changes in the ebb and flow, so obviously Crooker is doing something right in that all these songs manage to hold my attention.

And the band's two players (guitarist Adam Buhler, late of the ethereal pop band Sirensong, and keyboardist/programmer Kasson Crooker) provide her with songs worth tearing into and intriguing soundscapes to navigate.
The members of Splashdown had backgrounds different enough to interest one another when they got together two years ago: Buhler was in Sirensong; Crooker was part of the goth-identified Symbion Project; Kaplan had a double life as a jazz-trained singer and a Woman of Sodom.
If I was watching a video, I'd much rather look at her than at me." Adds Buhler, "Glen Ballard has the Midas touch, but we're scared of losing the independence we have.

Kaplan's voice is compelling; it reaches the level of a Bjork high note with the flow of Skye Edwards (Morcheeba).
The balance has much to do the musical genius of Adam Buhler (guitar, bass) and Kasson Crooker (keys, generator of beats).
Buhler gives the band a bit an of edgy aggressive guitar sound, while Crooker agitates clever dance beats or lushly laid back melodies.

She also gets into an unaccompanied vocal piece, some electronic pop in the vein of Splashdown (whose keyboardist, Kasson Crooker, appears on two tracks), and a bit of ethnic music (notably on "Black Man's Daughter," about her Bahamanian ancestry).
But most of the songs are held together by that longing feeling, whether it's romantic or spiritual.
