Jon Gaiser
Following a string of finely crafted releases on Minus and Resopal (as
Fraktion), Gaiser has rapidly become one of the most exciting and sought
after producers of his generation. With an instinctive feel for the
intricate mechanics of minimalist sound sculpture, his music contains the
perfect balance between rhythmical energy and sonic finesse. Just check out
tracks like Egress from his first Minus EP or his classic remix of Troy
Pierces 25 bitches.
Growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Gaiser spent most of his teenage
weekends staying with his older brother in Detroit, hanging out with friends
and going to gigs. Hed grown up listening to punk and played drums in a few
different punk bands but around the age of 14, he attended a techno event
for the first time. Richie Hawtin was at the controls and Jon was completely
blown away by the energy of the music and fascinated by the originality of
the sounds being used. It was so new and fresh to him as a musician that he
needed to figure out how this music was made, so he quit the bands and began
collecting drum machines, synths and fx units, finally moving to Detroit
upon graduating from high school.
For the next few years, if he wasnt at home patiently programming his
machines and perfecting his studio skills, he could be found digging through
crates of vinyl at a place called Record Time in Detroit. Plus 8 had an
office in the back of the building, so it wasnt long before he became
friends with Tim Price, Clark Warner and the rest of the crew and from this
chance meeting he has developed into an integral part of the Minus family.
Its not hard to see why. His natural energy and rhythm are clearly
responsible for the irresistible drum patterns that drive his productions
forward but its also the subtleties - the delicate melodies and dramatic
changes in atmosphere that give his sound such a distinctive edge. Music has
always been in his blood, his early punk rock exploits counter-balanced by
the more considered approach needed to learn piano and symphonic percussion
and by drawing on these earlier experiences, he has avoided the genres more
self-referential clichés.
On top of his prolific studio output, Gaiser has spent much of 2006 touring
Europe, the US and Japan, and 2007 promises to be even busier as demand for
his live set grows. What stands out about his performances is his ability
to make an immediate connection with the audience, soaking up the vibe and
playing according to their reactions. Hes a musician who lives off his
instincts, channeling his moods and emotions directly into his computer,
translating new experiences and sensations into sound. There simply is no
other way.
