Eric Lunde

About

Eric Lunde operates within the rusted gears of American industrial sound, a mechanical artisan of dissonance and decay. From 1987 to 1992, his output on cassette format became the conduit for his abrasive vision. Releases like "Hang Of The Narrow" (1992) on V2_Archief exemplify his mastery of tape manipulation, where loops and distortions churn with a relentless rhythm. His work is a study in avant-garde composition, utilizing field recordings and found sound to craft dystopian soundscapes. Lunde's collaborations with labels such as Sounds For Consciousness Rape and Big Body Parts reflect a commitment to pushing the functional limits of sound. The dual release of "Is" in 1990 underscores his fascination with repetitive sound structures, a metronomic pulse that challenges the listener's endurance. With "De Sade" (1988) and "Expositions Of The Virus" (1988), Lunde offers a clinical dissection of noise, a sonic exploration echoing the transgressive aesthetic of similar artists like Le Syndicat and Mauthausen Orchestra. His projects, including the VHS release "Witness to Desaster & Others," document a relentless pursuit of the intersection between sound and consciousness. Eric Lunde's work is not just listened to; it is experienced as a functional assault on the senses.
