Hey. I'm Erik, I've been pretty obsessed with making electronic/dance music for a while, and these are some of my most recent tracks. I like making songs that have a beat, but are not the standard fare mindless drone crap that gives electronic music its bad name. All of these songs are arranged on the fly in real time using this nerdy program I built. A lot of them also use a drawing tablet that I turned into an instrument to do lead improv. Hope you like!
Why this name?
My full name is Erik Thomas Asmussen, and I figured shortening it would sound a lot better.
Do you play live?
I'm a senior at Colgate University.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I dunno. It gives me a chance to have other people here my music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably
Your influences?
I've always wanted to be like Crystal Method, but my music doesn't sound like them at all so I guess that doesn't count for much.
Favorite spot?
82 Lebanon St., Hamilton NY.
Equipment used:
An interface I designed in Max/MSP, running on a G4 laptop, a Yamaha Motif Rack, and a Radium 49 Midi controller.
Anything else...?
I really depend on feedback to get better, so write and tell me what you like or don't like.
