the_empath - music

 
At the still point of the turning world,
neither flesh nor fleshless;
neither from nor towards;
at the still point,
there the dance is,
but neither arrest nor movement.
And do not call it
fixity,
where past and future are gathered.
Neither movement from nor towards,
neither ascend nor decline. Except for the point,
the still point,
there would be no dance - and there is only
the dance.

T. S. Eliot in "Burnt Norton"     



the_empath, a.k.a. mike erkau, has been part of electronic music since 1993 and he started releasing his own work on cdrs in 1999.

shortly after he began to do remixes for other artists and won the 2004 congress of media award in the audio category. the award was for his remix of 'no protection' (originally by utr).

four years later he turned the tables by releasing the 'second earth remix project' which included remixes of his work by ab ovo, def, fractional, heimstatt yipotash, sunao inami and others (more info...).

at the same time as an media engineer and tutor, mike was able to acquire advanced technical skills in video technology. his live appearances are always combined with a video performance which is strictly balanced to the tracks (a good example is consider:noize and elektroanschlag or maschinenfest).
