About Me

2008 Laptop Battle @ Seattle

"Music gifted to you by Aaron Ostrowsky...It's a philosophy as much as an aural belly rub. Aaron is making music for you, he's doing it live, he's bringing in collaborators. He's letting you into a world that is so often hard to find inside yourself, he's giving you the soundtrack to the explosion of realities he observes.

Aaron's got a vision he wants to share with you, and it shows in every hand-built note. He's a digital craftsman, a multitasking musical alchemist. This album is a small taste of this musical souffle. He likes to call it "performance-production". We like to call it amazing."

Heavylight was founded in 2003 by Scottie Lang and Aaron Ostrowsky, in an attempt to bring forth fresh new musical ideas without preconceived notions of what sounds good or bad but just feels right. Now Ostrowsky pushes the light further forward solo in what he calls 'performance-production' in which man and machine merge into one cohesive musical instrument. From funky progressive house, to gritty downtempo hiphop, to electro acoustic and distorted industrial, all of the musical elements are broken down into individually controlled pieces that, remixed in real time, along with live keyboards and guitar, give each performance an energy on par with the greats. That paired with frequent collaborations with other electronic artists such as Theory In Motion , Brian Abby , Astrobalance , as well as Seattle's up and coming hiphop talent Rik Rude and the young and talented acoustic/rock vocalist Lizzie Huffman , gives Seattle another electronic artist worth getting out of the house for.

" There are qualities of Daft Punk in some of the sounds he's used and it's all been put together with a great deal of care and attention...there's something infectiously catchy about it, and we reckon it should have plenty of dancefloor appeal. It's really good to see that Aaron's capable of switching his style around and coming up with something different " -Future Music Magazine FM169 Dec 05

Sounds Like: Like a fusion of rock/country/electro with some of that soul from the 70's. It's like the blue man group without all of the bluemen, and not a lot of "chi-ga-chi-ga-chi-ga-chi-ga-chi-ga" drums:)
