What's even more amazing about Gerard's original Convextion and ERP releases, such as those on Matrix or our old HardSync imprint, they were all mainly produced with just a single digital keyboard and arranged on a first generation digital desktop sequencer. Percussion and all. He basically bought a synth and sequencer one day and disappeared for two weeks in his garage apartment. He wouldn't skate, hang out, return calls, nothing. Then out of nowhere he emerged with tracks that were mind blowing. Zero to unreal in under two weeks.
I'm in Atlanta now and can't comment on what he's using for production today, but it wouldn't surprise me if he borrows greatly from his old bag of tricks. It's great to see his music picking up so much momentum lately. He's definitely on another level when it comes to constructing tracks, mad respect for the guy. dK -----Original Message----- From: fab.
