Converter is the brainchild of Scott Sturgis, a one-man electro-consortium. Originating in Ohio, but now based in Seattle, Converter began
inearly 1998, when a growing interest in rhythm-drive sound inspired Sturgis to pursue a rhythmic noise-based project. Converter saw its

Converter is the brainchild of Scott Sturgis, a one-man electro-consortium. Originating in Ohio, but now based in Seattle, Converter began
inearly 1998, when a growing interest in rhythm-drive sound inspired Sturgis to pursue a rhythmic noise-based project. Converter saw its
firstrelease in 1999, with Shock Front, a mature work in the same vein as other artists in the Ant-Zen family such as P·A·L, Imminent Starvation
andIszoloscope, as well as well-known rhythmic noise innovators like Dive and Esplendor Geometrico. Converter investigates the industrial
field,without denying its roots. Described as "hard hitting, noise tinged electro-industrial", the music is loaded with infectious and
penetratingrhythms perfect for dance floors. Tracks like "Coma", which has become a popular club hit in Toronto, offer machine-driven rhythms
with aturbulent downpour of torrential electronics. Bombastic rhythms are coupled with tweaked synths to create an atmosphere of
distortedaggression that shows no mercy in its relentless attack on your senses. Sturgis creates paranoid, intense and threatened
atmospheresincorporating elements of powernoise and analogue electronics. Sturgis has a full resume, boosting projects Pain Station, a split
disc with R4(Dbs/R4), collaboration with Asche and Morgenstern, Xenonics K-30 (a collaboration with Leech from Navicon Torture Technologies ),
and therecent project Notime to his roster. As well as writing music, Sturgis also began his own label, Auricle Media, with fellow artist
Manufactura. « hide |
