Catherine of the Woods
My name is Eldo Abrahamson, and I been doing this underground one-man show since 1999. I do other stuff too, but when a piece of music needs a full band, I bust out whatever shit-eating means are available to me at the time and do it myself. As far as electronics go, their role in this is thusfar solely functional. They help me, because humans are either unavailable, unwilling or unmotivated, so fuck 'em. Got me bigger fish to fry, and I got the means, so here you go.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
This is no band, you fool. This is my life!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I live in Duluth, MN these days, so live versions of this stuff won't be happening any time soon. Musicians here are far more concerned with being on the scene than diving into the music itself, and that's a shit-wall I'm not going to waste my time trying to traverse.
Your musical influences
Oh fuck you. I'm sick of questions like this. Listen to the music, draw your own conclusions, and feel free to keep them to yourself.
What equipment do you use?
I did this all with drums, basses, guitars, computers, mics, an MK-II Portastudio, effects, snythesizers and whatever I had the skill and patience to muster up at the time. My buddy Graham played bass on Suffice, so I used him too. Sucker.
Anything else?
Thanks to all the great musicians i've played with: Dave Gaziel, Vince Maldonado, Graham Payne, Perry Osborn, et al.
Fuck you Earl.
