Every record is a new configuration of personnel, instrumentation...aimed to sound new and fresh from any previously released on the label and even in the history of documented material as we strive to have our own sound and voice...
Bruce Holmberg/Eric John Eigner Duet @ The Bowery Poetry Club, 2008
Mysterium - An Electric Soundpainting Septet @ Moody Mammoth Studios
Mysterium Is Eigner's Ongoing Project. It Has 3 CD's Available From His Eavesdrop Records Label:
Eric John Eigner is a drummer who does not need to rely upon the use of sticks and drums to get his point across, though he certainly loves to incorporate them into the fold of what he does. He prefers the use of fireworks and chains, 50cent horns and elephant calls. He has learned from the best and desires to be none of them.
Eric John Eigner plays Drumset – Extended and Traditional, Table-top Percussion, Soprano and Bass Clarinet.
He has released three CD’s from his Mysterium Project on Eavesdrop Records, a label he set up as a platform for contemporary work.
Eigner works in a number of diverse Soundpainting projects and has performed with the Walter Thompson Orchestra, the New York Soundpainting Orchestra and ZAHA. Eigner is also a member of the international Soundpainting community. He currently is involved in a duo project with composer/guitarist Bruce Holmberg, the John Nickels Band and the Michael Wagner Quartet.
Eigner has worked with Butch Morris, Reuben Radding, Kenny Wollesen’s Himalayas, the CAVEnsemble, Shinichi MOMO Koga, Mark Stewart, Sabir Mateen, Steve Swell, Daniel Carter, Nate Wooley, Matt Lavelle, Greg Tate’s Burnt Sugar and poet Steve Dalachinsky. Eigner has played in a number of other bands, from Steve Albini produced Pillow Theory, the eclectic Balkan thrash band The Trophy Wives, to Earthdriver, a band made up of a wide variety of international talent who join forces to create a unified musical and social statement.
In addition to music, Eigner is also a working Painter and Photographer that exhibits in New York.
Eric ! Great to get news from you, man ! I should have been in NYC at the end of the month but... it will be on next fall, I guess. If you want to go to Paris, please let me know ! (and Mysterium is definitely a great recording)
