Biography

Detroit, Michigan, United States (2006 – present)

Following a string of finely crafted Minus EPs (And Answer, Neural Block and Eye Contact), Jon Gaiser has 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 and nowhere is this more apparent than on his thunderous debut album Blank Fade.

Growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Gaiser spent most of his teenage weekends succumbing to the gravitational pull of Detroit, hanging out with friends and going to gigs. At that point he was into punk and playing drums in a few different bands but everything changed around the age of 14 when he experienced his first Techno party. Richie Hawtin was at the controls and Jon was completely blown away by the pure energy of the music and the originality of the sounds. From a musical perspective, everything was so new and fresh that he immediately set about figuring out how it was created. He quit the bands and began collecting drum machines, synths and fx units, before finally moving to Detroit after graduating from high school.

For the next few years, if he wasn’t at home patiently programming his machines and perfecting his studio skills, he could be found digging through crates of vinyl at Record Time in Detroit.

    Judging by the quote at the start of the bio on here, he (at least used to) uses hardware. Then I would imagine it's either a DAW such as ableton or cubase to compose; unless he uses hardware with a sequencer that is master to the other slave machines. Maybe he's abandoned it all for software and heaps of plug-ins. Doesn't matter, there are a myriad of options when it comes to making House/Techno. The kit will only get you so far, its what you do with it that counts.
