Autograft is an IDM/Ambient artist from New York. He has also written music under the pseudonyms doctor monella and salmonella deathsquad, although both of them are no longer in use. He started working with electronic music in 2003, and released several small EPs. They ranged from abstract-techno to darkambient. Soon after these releases his work moved towards the IDM/ambient genres. His current release is the Ambient Shifts EP. It is meant to be an exploration into the sounds and depths of space.
Currently, he is working on some new material, which should be available to listen to in the near future. No new release dates have been announced, but he claims that there will be more music on the way.
Autograft has just announced a new EP entitled "conde" which he states should be available by Fall 2007. One of the tracks is available to listen to at his myspace page.

Some of these include Ableton Live, Digital Performer, Roland R-8, Yamaha DX-7, and various Native Instruments softsynths.
