Hiber-Rhapsody is Glen Whisler and Bill Moffitt, EJ Twizzler and EJ Fallout.

It begin in 1999 as Hiber-Rapsody when Glen purchased a HipHop Ejay program by Voyetra on a whim and began making simple tracks on his old 486 computer. Quickly mastering the basics of the program, he decided to see what other music software was available.

Stumbling across Rave Ejay, the techno producer in Glen was unleashed. After constructing the his first techno album titled Digital Neptune in late 2002, an h was added to make it Hiber-Rhapsody, which marked the permanent switch from HipHop to Techno. The second album Trance Rosary finished in may 2003 would mark the end of EJ Twizzler's use of Rave Ejay, in which he remarked; "It was a good learning tool, but I'm sadly disappointed with it's lack of versatility."

Techno Ejay 4 was the next step. With this new program, the third album, Elven was born in January of 2005. A clearly better collection of tracks than previous albums with standout tracks like Dark Skies and The Final Step, the latter of which was played on the radio in the UK. The next album, which Glen refers to as the "whoops album", was Tainted Rose, released in February 2006. His comments on it were none to pleasing; "I should have learned the first time I tried to use an Ejay program for more than one album..."

Feeling that the Ejay programs were not nearly versitile enough for him, he turned to his friend Bill for inspiration. Bill recomended Fruity Loops to him, stating that the possibilties were nearly endless with this program.

Upon purchasing Fruity Loops Studio 5, Glen set out to forge a new sound for himself and for about 4 months, all he got was endless frustration at the difficulty of this new program. Finally, after months of experimenting, he hit a breakthrough. And in October 2006, Liquid Fire was created, featuring the tracks, Hallucinate and Iron Mist. Not content to waste time, Phoenix Gate was created just a month later with the title track surpassing all expectations.

After achieving success on Liquid Fire and Phoenix Gate, Glen enlisted Bill for the next project to be named Aurora. Their goal is to make a more relaxing ambient style album, so far after 4 months, only one track has been dubbed "done" and released, Borealis, which combines Glen's powerful beats and bass lines with Bill's off the wall tweaking and sequences. Glen remarks, "I don't know how he comes up with this stuff, I'll send him an idea I'm working on, he'll send it back in two days and it'll be all wrecked up and freaked out! I love it!" Bill says, "I dunno how it comes to me...but having these sic beats from Glen sure help(laughs) and he makes them like, wicked fast too! I say hey Glen, I need a beat, he listens to what I got and boom two minutes later, he's got a beat for me."
