eR DoN Robert Nelson hails from Seattle. He composes and performs electronic music under the pseudonym eR DoN. It’s in recording, arranging and collaborating with other musicians to fully realize his solo compositions that his real musical talents shine.
eR DoN painstakingly builds his music from the ground up. Every sample is created from an original source whether it be: keyboards, field recordings, guitars, horns, drums and bass. Some of these samples are distorted and sequenced to such a degree that they sound nothing like the original and then at other times eR.DoN lets the live instruments flow purely and unhindered through his music. These ever changing juxtapositions give eR DoN’s music an almost kinetic energy, which is filled with complexity and thoughtful nuances.
On eR DoN’s new album live instruments assume an even greater role by providing a concrete musical structure for his many layered compositions. The drums, horns, bass and guitars all hem the music in and creates an electronic album which is imbued with jazz to its core. The music shifts and teeters between traditional and more experimental jazz elements, but it is all seamlessly brought together by eR.DoN's skill in composing the electronic underpinnings. The result is an electronic album with a warmth and depth of sound that is not usually associated with this genre.
eR DoN also performs with celebrated pianist/composer Victor Noriega in the group Pontius Pilots.
