Seth Haley, born in 1985 in Madison County, New York, is an American electronic musician and DJ who performs under the stage name Com Truise. Prior to adopting the Com Truise moniker, Haley released music under several pseudonyms, including Sarin Sunday, SYSTM, and Airliner, starting in 2007. In 2009, he self-released the EP “Invader” as SYSTM and in November 2010, the LP “None” as Airliner. His career as Com Truise began with the release of the “Cyanide Sisters” EP in 2010, initially offered as a free download by AMDISCS before being reissued by Ghostly International in January 2011. This release marked a turning point, leading Haley to resign from his position as an art director to focus on music full-time.
Following the re-release of “Cyanide Sisters,” Com Truise gained further recognition by remixing Daft Punk’s “ENCOM, Part II” for the “Tron: Legacy Reconfigured” album. June 2011 saw the release of his debut album, “Galactic Melt,” through Ghostly International, which was followed by “In Decay” in 2012. Throughout his career, Com Truise has developed a distinctive sound he describes as “mid-fi synth-wave, slow-motion funk,” characterized by heavy synthesizers and influences from 1980s musical styles. His albums under the Com Truise name, including “Iteration” (2017) and “Persuasion System” (2019), tell an ongoing narrative about a “synthetic astronaut.” His work has also extended to film composition, notably for “Private Property” in 2022.
In recent years, Com Truise has expanded his reach through various collaborations and projects. In February 2022, he produced the music for Coinbase’s Super Bowl LVI advertisement, which notably sampled The Beatles’ “Money (That’s What I Want).” The following April, he partnered with the online music school Soundfly to release a course on music production, sharing his expertise with aspiring artists. He has also actively engaged with his audience through initiatives like Soundfly’s ‘Summer of Synthwave Remix Contest,’ inviting fans to remix his tracks. Com Truise currently resides in Orlando, Florida, and his songs are represented by Downtown Music Publishing.
