'''''Altera Enigma''''' is the [[Jazz fusion]] influenced [[Progressive metal]]/[[Rock music|Rock]] band of Jason De Ron (the former guitarist of [[Paramaecium]]), and Jefray Arwadi (guitarist and vocalist of [[Kekal]]). Both these musicians have a career that has seen them record and released nearly 20 albums between them.
==Biography==


The lake was long the exclusive fishery of [[Sherman Pratt]] of [[Pratt & Whitney]], the American aircraft engine manufacturer. Pratt leased the fishing rights on this lake and the headwaters of the [[Little Southwest Miramichi River]] from the provincial government. Pratt maintained a private resort, the Pratt Camps, on the lake.
Altera Enigma was formed as an outlet for Jason and Jeff to work together on music that would push their boundaries, challenge them musically and allow them to broaden their horizons and explore progressive music in all it's forms. The addition of Kenny Cheong in 2005, a Jazz Fusion bassist who plays a 5 string fretless, allowed Altera Enigma to further develop their Jazz Fusion influences and develop their signature sound. 2007 saw the addition of [[Jayson Sherlock]]<sup>([[Mortification (band)|Mortification]], [[Paramaecium]], [[Horde (band)|Horde]])</sup> on drums.

While both Jason and Jeff may be more well known for their metal, with [[Paramaecium]] and [[Kekal]] having both released many albums of intense, evocative metal, actually both musicians are heavily influenced by Jazz and Progressive music in all it's forms.<ref>[http://alteraenigma.com/html/body____bio__/ Altera Enigma's biography]</ref>

In early 2008 the members of Altera Enigma announced that they are making a new album but it is taking longer than initially expected as all the members of Altera Enigma are busy working with their primary bands.<ref name="album2">[http://www.alteraenigma.com/ Altera Enigma news page]</ref>
