Actions Speak Louder

This is my first attempt at my own production skills. I am by no means professional. This recording was created in my lounge. Just a simple song explaining some paradoxical behaviours in our world. Perhaps it is just me noticing these things, nonetheless, I made music

Got a new midi controller and just had to try it out, created this track here. No words, just some soul.

Song in process. This is the rough accompaniment that I have been working on for the past couple of days.

Some pumping beats I made over the course of a weekend. Just to keep the creativity interesting and mix things up. This is philosopher Gerald Heard speaking on his experience of LSD along with a grooving bass line. Enjoy

Just a bit of messing about, passing the time on an airplane in a productive manner.

Erik Rust's Album

Two hours and 4000m above

Erik Rust is an indie artist forging his own sound. Living in the Western Cape of South Africa surrounded by nature, inspiration is never far away. Born and raised a country boy in the small town of Ceres, music has always had a special place in his heart. Recently being awarded the honour of artist of the month by The Akademia Awards (Los Angeles) as well as having his first single entering top twenty charts across the country Erik has shown that his music is in line with what people are longing for. 

Focused on genres such as rock, pop, country and jazz his sound has been said to touch the soul and leave a little bit behind. Primarily focused on vocals the music Erik creates emphasise simplicity and clarity. Erik writes, produces and records all of his own music, born from a dream to create music exactly as he intends. There are often more than one message hidden within the subtexts of the lyrics and melodies, music written for the critical listener.  Having worked with artists such as Blackbyrd, Dennis East, Lance James and Tommy Dell, Erik is now focussed on creating his first album of original music. This is culminated in a year long project called #OneSongOneMonth. 

A short quote from the man himself sums up the role music takes on in his life.

My soul moves in rhythm with the vibrations of the universe, for at my core, I am Music - Erik Rust
