"There's a million better bands with a million better songs; singers who can drum, and singers who can sing..."-PUSA
In a medium accessible to practically anybody, everybody wants to be somebody. CERUMENTRIC is my effort at revealing the obscure transcendental beauty in the mundane, in the ordinary complexities of life. It is my celebration of sheer exuberance for the short but priceless pieces of our lives that never stays in place.
"Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff."-Harvey Pekar
Mr. Fabian is formerly of obscure lo-fi folkpop outfit Lewis*Staples
CERUMENTRIC is not a DJ, and he is not into club/dance culture. CERUMENTRIC is a one-man rock band that just so happens to use computers in their music.
Erick also plays classically-influenced instrumental pop. You can listen to it here: Erick A. Fabian Sr.

hi! Erick-san How are you doing? I have played Theremin and just started to sing. My singing is very bad!! How should I do? Should I go to vocal lesson? Yeah, real monkey would make troubles hehe. Well, where did you hear "EIGO DE SHIYABERA NAITO"? I think this is the title of Japanese TV English lesson program. They spell "Eigo de shabera night" just for fun. It means "You should talk in English". Do you understand what I am saying? I am not goot at explanation.
arigatou very much. But I called to my instrumental store and the selling person "He is my friend too" will control it. It seemed hard for me !!! This is my first electronic instrumental, so it is better I do not touch! I will write back you on e-mail. I have been busy so my reply is late. gomennasai! Keep in touch!! Fumie
Hello! How are you doing? My theremin is needed tuning of integrated circuit. I checked it out on website but I dont know I can do it or not now. I am going to try it now! If it seems to be broken, I will take it to instrumental store!
I am sorry that I cannot write back soon. I caught a cold and it is hard for me to write long English now! Yes my English is poor. But I like to write English usually. I try to sleep well today.
