Aphorism's Josh Pyle is no stranger to electronic music. Drawn to the darker end of its spectrum in the early 90's, Josh spent years in the Industrial music scene. Involved in a number of projects, Josh relocated from Texas to Chicago in 2000. With a music background spanning well over 15 years, Josh's project Aphorism began to take off in 2005. "When working on a new track, it usually starts to take shape as a song at about the same time it starts crashing my computer. I guess I like to push the limit of my gear. Either that, or it's time for a new Mac."
Although obsessed with the ability to create physically impossible sounds while driving his equipment to the edge, Josh never lost his love for post punk and Wax-Trax! era electronic dance music. With inspirations ranging from Berlin Electro to Skinny Puppy; from Amon Tobin to Dub, the combination of stylistic influences plus an interest in 60's and 70's European soundtracks contributes to the sound of Aphorism.Now, Aphorism joins Tympanik Audio for his fantastic and incredibly dynamic debut album release titled ‘Surge’, slated for release on March 23rd, 2009.
