Eric\u00a0Kauschen was born September 6th,1962. He began his musical career at the\u00a0age of four playing the piano by ear, figuring out popular songs of the\u00a0time. With an instinctive feel for music he was accepted at the age of\u00a0seven by a former concert pianist with the San Francisco Symphony, Francesca\u00a0Browning.<\/p>\n
Eric’s piano studies continued for nine years during which time he tookpart in numerous piano examinations securing a top award in the International\u00a0Mozart category. During this period, Eric experimented with numerous other\u00a0instruments including trumpet, flute, clarinet, marimba and tympani.<\/p>\n
At the age of 16 Eric underwent a major change. Like so many musicians\u00a0before him he discovered the guitar. Eric set aside all other instruments\u00a0and began an intense period of study with San Francisco pop music icon\u00a0Alex Guiness. During this time Eric learned more than just how to play\u00a0the guitar, he learned the theory behind Rock, Jazz and Classical music.\u00a0Something his nine years of classical piano had never taught him. He learned\u00a0to emulate the styles of many of the great guitarists and through a synthesis\u00a0of their styles developed his own unique signature sound. During this\u00a0time he served as guitarist for several local bands, most notably the\u00a0self proclaimed “San Francisco’s greatest unknown band–Black Wulf.”<\/p>\n
While quite the afficianado of the huge Heavy Metal scene of the 80’s,\u00a0Eric was drawn to many types of music outside the genre which led him\u00a0back to his musical beginnings with a new twist. He began an exploration\u00a0of electronic music and synthesizers. Eric served as the Assistant to\u00a0the Director of San Francisco State University’s Electronic Music Studio,\u00a0being instrumental in assembling an arsenal of synthesizers and related\u00a0equipment for the students. Several of his early works were compiled and\u00a0presented at the International Electronic Music Exposition in Italy in\u00a01986. Most notable was the piece “Armageddon” a techno-dance\u00a0piece that was considered many years ahead of it’s time.<\/p>\n
Eric still had a strong affection for classical music and in discovering\u00a0the works of Walter\/Wendy Carlos developed a synergistic blend of classical\u00a0composition and synthesizers. His first offering was the “The Symphony\u00a0of the Nine Angles”. A hauntingly dark blend of classical stylings\u00a0and H. P. Lovecraft imagery.<\/p>\n
Currently,\u00a0Eric serves as the CIO and digital audio and MIDI advisor to Rock and Roll Hall\u00a0of Fame member Peter Miller’s<\/a> Audio Institute of America.<\/a><\/p>\n Eric Kauschen uses\u00a0exclusively:<\/p>\n Eric\u00a0Kauschen was born September 6th,1962.
