Best known for his guitar/bass executions in the extreme metal trio Absu, Equitant has been performing synthesizer-based music since 1993.  That same year, he released his debut ambient release “The Circle of Agurak” followed up by the sophomore offering “The Great Lands of Minas Ithil.” At the end of 1994, Equitant ceased his solo calling to fully concentrate on mythological occult metal, that being of Absu. Five years later, he would pick up where he left off with 1999’s “Exhibit One”, significantly altering his musical style to explore a new phase of dark electronic techno.  

 

2001 brought forth two, futuristic-based albums “Design” and “North of Munich,” which were both issued on Equitant’s label Black Montanas Productions.  These two releases represented a modern, yet cold mechanical direction of electronic music, with traces of techno and dance elements.

 

Equitant spawned a new approach of sound organization with the release of 2002’s “Zurich.” Together with the French Canadian singer Erica Falardeau, they brought forth an abstract mix of new sounds. By concocting abnormal forms of techno, electro and industrial music, “Zurich” shifted the formats of Equitant’s music once again.

 

With the release of the “Kompressor” promotional CD in 2003, Equitant’s techniques delved deeper into a state of electro and retro sound-scapes. The use of vocoders and synthetic drums were now dominant, including a combination of minimal synthesizers and sampling influenced by past and present German electro.

 

Remember: Equitant creates a delicious cocktail of retro and dark

electro - mental yet maniacal.
