Composer and arranger Gregory Kyryluk has been composing music since acquiring his first professional keyboard, a Moog synthesizer, back in the early 1980s. Primarily a self-taught musician, Gregory has recorded as Alpha Wave Movement since 1992.

Alpha Wave Movement's musical style can be considered an amalgam of classic 1970s period German style electronic music, otherwise known as Berlin-school, and the ambient aesthetics of Brian Eno, John Serrie and Steve Roach as well as hints of John Williams and other contemporary film composers.

Alpha Wave Movement's music is all electronic-based, utilizing digital synthesizers and MIDI to create its sonic explorations. Aside from the musical influences noted nature, natural landscapes and photography are a continuous source of inspiration for composing. Music cannot be forced but rather comes at moments of deeper inspiration.

Alpha Wave Movement has performed at the Ambient Ping Canada and at the Gathering Room USA, and has released music on the Dutch label Groove Unlimited, Silent Records (USA), Waveform Records (USA), Spiralight (USA), Ambientlive (UK), Lektronic Soundscapes (USA), Sequences Magazine (UK), and on the private label Harmonic Resonance Recordings. Alpha Wave Movement's other projects include Thought Guild with synthesis Christopher Cameron the electronic world fusion of Open Canvas, and a solo non Alpha Wave Movement release.
