Electro Harmonico

About Me

Electro Harmonico is a sound project of Ian Alan Carlsen, running on four years now. The name comes from "Electric Harmonica" an 808 preset that was used to make the song "Electro Harmonico vs. Dr. Death Ray" which has of date been lost to the sands of time. All songs are made under a Creative Commons (cc) lisence and not intended for commercial use, rather the promotion of sampling and looping as a retrospective art form that honors the original composers.

Check out Robber & Thief a side project and collaborative effort with E. Moody, D. Gierhan and myself all throwing bits and pieces into the mix. Conversational songs with dance sensibility.
