Spinform

”To hear is not to listen” is the first album outlet from Spinform aka Erik Möller, the one man orchestra from Uppsala, Sweden. Spinform has been and will always be in constant search for the music of the future. The Spinform world of sonics is a smooth blend of acoustic sounding sounds and electronic sounding sounds, a journey through spasmodic rubberball rhythms, undiscovered soundworlds and haunting harmonies.

Spinform’s been around since 1994, but Erik Möller started making music in the late eighties when he was swept away by the new sounds of techno and house. Since then he’s made music under many names, always evolving his take on experimental electronic music. Quick enough Erik got attention from diverse record labels, and got his songs released.

A couple of years ago he got in touch with the Recordings Under Construction imprint. Erik got along very well with the label, and some serious work eventually led to the release of the ”Urban Legends EP” and thereafter the release of the debut album. Since Spinform always is heading into new uncharted territories, Erik has already locked himself inside the Audionaut Capsule and started to shape what will be his second album.
