The Mystral Tide project was active between 1999-2010. It has since been superseded by the artist's new persona, "Minorarc" at https://www.triplejunearthed.com/artist/minorarc Mystral Tide was an underground music project founded by Australian born artist/promoter Ivan Bullock.

The project began in Tokyo during 1999, a rudimentary Shibuya studio
