   About Erstlaub
Erstlaub is the misanthropic doom-laden creation of Dave Fyans of Perth, Scotland. Working primarily in the field of brooding drones and gently abrasive textures, he draws on his inspiration from both man made and natural sounds from real life and deconstructs and rebuilds them in his own stark vision by means of modular synthesis. I'm a bit slack at keeping this up to date and struggle to post new pieces seeing as they tend to be massive long sprawls and stuff. Check my website and blog for more recent chat. If you are adding me, send a message to prove you are a human or whatever or I'll probably ignore it.
