Hi Logan, great to be chatting to you and asking some interview type questions for the magazine. So tell us about yourself for those that don't know. Who are you, what do you do etc.
My name is Logan Erickson. Born and raised in Duluth, Minnesota, USA.
Relocated to Minneapolis/St. Paul MN in 2003. I've always been a tinkerer of
circuits since I was 14 when I got into electronic music, specifically the experimental/soundscape/ambient noise scene. I found Circuit-Bending around that same time and I was hooked (Thanks Stavros!). I began bending toys,
converting them into musical instruments and building my own little noise synths and getting into modular SynthDIY. Kind of ended up it into a job through out high school. I found myself involved in the 8-bit/chipmusic scene around that time up until 2009 when I was building and developing a lot of products and DIY projects/tutorials related to that scene. Around 2009-2010 Eurorack was not quite popular but some really great products had come onto the market (MakeNoise/Harvestman/Bubblesound to name a few) and that was when I changed my focus to designing for modular. Having worked for a highly
respected company in the Pro-Audio market, I felt I could take my experience and knowledge from that field and apply it to my own products. I quit my day job just about 2 years ago (this July) to focus on Low-Gain Electronics full time and haven't looked back. It has had its challenges but it has been on of the best decisions I've ever made.
