In 2002, with the acquisition of a synthesizer workstation, studio monitors, a four-track recorder, and a small drum machine, Allan began to write using physical instrumentation rather than computer-generated sound. He continues to explore – and extend – the boundaries of his medium and works to produce music from his private studio.

With the completion of his first album, Departure Gate (2003), Allan has achieved one of his personal goals. Handling all aspects of production – from creation to final mastering to artwork design – Departure Gate is Allan’s first entry into the full-stage professional development of his music. A seamless seventy-four minute CD, Departure Gate contains fourteen re-mastered and re-mixed singles.
