18 24 61 B 17 17 4 by eassae

In eassae’s 11th LP, 18 24 61 B 17 17 4, the resistance lives on, fighting against those in power who divide and categorize us for profit and control. Listen closely and glean the code to take control of the transmission and broadcast the universal; the force that binds us; the way forward. Now available […]

Metoji by eassae

eassae’s 10th LP, Metoji, is the reflexive contemplation of embodied emotion. A recursive loop that gets richer with every note added or subtracted until the gamut of soul has been laid out through time fusing the symbol with the actual to create the intangible. The full 14 track album is available now, and features the […]

Space Above Theory, Album by eassae

Space Above Theory, eassae’s 9th studio album, is a 10 track embrace of the infinite over the theoretical—where instinct outweighs the measured, and inner and outer space coalesce in the sublime.

Recursion, a new album by eassae

Recursion is my first EP release under my new moniker eassae. Recorded over a month spent on a small island in the middle of the Baltic Sea, this 24-minute track takes you on a journey that starts with a simple idea that feeds back into itself to culminate in an eclectic, electronic wonderland.

The Empty Set by eassae

{} The Empty Set, eassae’s 8th studio album, is fifteen tracks of pure, mischievous fun. Things aren’t always as they seem in this four-on-the-floor, bass thumping, thrill ride, that is empty and beyond because it exists.

Always As It Is by eassae

Always As It Is, eassae’s 7th studio album, is a fourteen-track cinematic musical wonderland filled with luscious synths, booming 808 kicks, orchestral swells, and eerie vocal recordings that tell baroque tales and conjure ethereal imagery.

I arrived in Ulaanbaatar at 2 am after twenty hours of travel, and hopped into the van of my driver and guide to be assaulted by a barrage of questions and opinions concerning US politics—more specifically Trump. My attempts to seek a little peace by staring out the window and acting uninterested failed, so I […]

The Great Wall of China

When in Beijing it is of course obligatory to visit the Great Wall of China. We hired a private guide to pick us up at our hotel and take us to a less traveled area of the wall located in the Hebei province. The drive was about an hour and half to the Jinshanling section, […]

Brandenburg Gate, Berlin

I was sitting in the Berlin Documentation Center, watching footage of people charge through barbed wire to escape from East Germany at the time the wall was being erected, thinking about the desperation and oppression that would cause a human to ignore their own safety and potential loss of life. All I have experienced moving to […]

NYC

New York, New York

New York is a place where every aspect of a developed culture has been carried to excess, and what is left now is the aftermath. It is a place where 90% of the people you meet are atrocious self-promoters, a true stage for the talented and tragically ambitious. I’ve spent eleven years in NY, and have moved to […]

Beijing, China

Nothing could have prepared me for the scale of Beijing. I feel that usually I can get a fairly good scope of a city I am going to visit by looking at a map. We would pick a destination that we thought would be a 15 minute walk and end up trekking for an hour. […]

Paris

Well folks, it looks like we will be heading back to the good ol’ USA in the new year. We’ve been away for three years now, and although there have been a handful of trips back to visit family and friends, it feels a little like moving to yet another foreign destination. In the past […]

Nepal

Kathmandu is a beautiful disaster. Amid the color, pattern, texture, filth, ritual, pollution, hippie westerners living on the cheap, marketing, mangled infrastructure, smell, music, traffic, corruption and the holy, it was hard not to feel like I was in the most unenlightened place in the world–a poverty tourist with the objective of seeing every aspect […]

Bhutan: Land of the Thunder Dragon

I have never felt so foreign in a place than while standing in the Punakha Dzong during the Tshechu festival surrounded by hundreds of Bhutanese in their formal dress. Foreign, but not unwelcome. The colors, patterns, masks and smiles on faces aged one to one hundred—maybe older, hung from the walls of the square courtyard […]

Keetmanshoop, Namibia

I spent three weeks driving around and through the amazingly diverse landscapes of Namibia, with a brief foray into Botswana. Equipped with a solid 4×4 with dual gas tanks and a good supply of water, I was still was a little hesitant starting out, not knowing what terrain I would encounter along the trip. I began […]

What We Let Live

What We Let Live, eassae’s 6th album, is a twenty-track electronic monster that will take you on a one-hour-and-twenty-minute phantasmagorical auditory thrill ride through melodically mangled soundscapes and harmonic hyperspheres that will push the limits of where you thought sound could take you.

Every, A Novel by Eric Scott

In Every, Tom returns to New York after spending six years abroad, settles in a sparsely furnished East Village apartment, and begins to examine his past in hopes of attaining an idea of enlightenment in which he doesn’t believe. Tom Every takes a job at a high-profile branding agency directing large campaigns and becomes increasingly […]

Lost Kings and Bored Spacemen by eassae

Lost Kings and Bored Spacemen, my 5th studio album, consists of eleven musical storytelling tracks that are not easy to classify into any single genre. The LP pulls heavily from classical and jazz without being either; there is a dose of almost every division of electronica, but it doesn’t remain in any single category long […]

The Last Animal Standing

My 4th album, The Last Animal Standing, is now available from Abandon Building Records’ ACrawlsPace! All ten new tracks are available to download here, and also on a limited edition cd here in the States and in Japan from p*dis.

Requiem for the Living by eassae

Released in 2007, my 3rd album, Requiem for the Living, is a soundscape populated by playful classical instrumentation and accompanied by mischievous synthesized sounds that live together, sometimes in harmony, sometimes with tension, and always with a sense of dialectical exploration.

Absence of a Straight Line by eassae

A path is never narrow. In the absence is ontology. Axioms fall down and are held back up again, with never-correct thoughts. My 2nd album, Absence of a Straight Line, asks questions that I have no answers for.

Conspiracy of Good and Evil by eassae

My first album, Conspiracy of Good and Evil, is pure play with forces that seem disparate but are often more similar than you might think, or would like to admit.
