About Me

Spiny Norman is the alter ego of Dumbfound drummer Jon Eriksen from Oslo, Norway. His music combines the playfulness of techno music with with the experimentalism of progressive rock. Spinys love for music shines through in the hectic combinations of different styles and textures and the music lives in a colourful landscape, where detailed rhythmic patterns meet lively joyful melodies sometimes bordering on the naive.Jon collaborated with programming genius Upland (Jester Records) on the final stages of the record, resulting in a vastly detailed and textured record.The debut album "Sketches of Pain" is out now, and is for sale on www.iimusic.net. If you happen to live in Oslo you can buy it at TIGER. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
