Lightphaser is an electronic musical project of Joseph Gogh initiated around 1998. First music inspirations came from the EBM music scene and from video game soundtracks. Those days MOD music files were still popular and because there was no musical instrument available, the first couple of songs were composed by FastTracker 2. The first album called Light is a compilation of those early works characterized by old 8-bit samples. Soon 3 more albums were recorded by which sound generators become the center of focus and various experiments were made mixing industrial noises with dark ambient themes. At that time a personal computer was the only tool for composing.

In 2002 Joseph and his friend Excalibur started to remix each other's work producing various electro tracks that are recognizable by heavy basslines and remastered sounds and so the Sonic Troopers side-project was born. However, its future is unclear at this moment. Joseph also made some remixes for various bands including Neotek.

After some years of rest Lightphaser returns with a new album called Flashback. There were some improvements made in the studio, the new album is supported now with hardware gears. Its sound got spiced up with chill-out elements, though the main emphasis is on experiments of different sound schemes mixed with industrial elements.

Meanwhile, in summer of 2009 an earlier unreleased track called The Last Game got featured on Electro Arc label's compilation album "Net.Ware Twist of Fate" along with several other EBM/electro bands like First Aid 4 Souls.
