Biography of Convextion

Gerard Hanson was born in 1972. He hails from the unlikely environments of Dallas, Texas USA. Little is known about this producer who seems to have Scandinavian roots. His productions have reflections with Basic Channel/Chain Reaction sound. His main inspirations are Juan Atkins and Derrick May. His music also has influences from Stefan Robbers, Red Planet and Carl Craig. He found a way where everything came together: DeEPness, Minimalism and Soul, the Detroit-Berlin connection. In 1994 Gerard Hanson and Dan Kurzius started 'Hardsync', a Magazine dedicated to electronic music reviews and artist interviews. It has been defunct since 1996 as a result of a computer crash. Hard Sync was an outlet for several Texas-based electronic music enthusiasts to reach out to others around the world that shared similar musical interests. He released his first 12' in 1995. Ever since his debut 12' on Matrix in 1995. From 1995-1997, he released 5 EP's, and then only 2 more in the next 6 years until 2005. The reason he produced so infrequently was because when his first releases came out, the tracks were licensed to some big releasers and he did not get paid for them. After that some other labels approached him but just wanted more of the same and didn't really seem to understand his sound. They just wanted more of the same sounds. After that he stopped releasing music and produced only for his personal usage. After a couple of years the label Down Low convinced him to pick up his producing again. He is very careful about sharing his music with the rest of the world. In the last decade he only used the aliases Convextion and E.R.P. (Event Related Potential). E.R.P is an electro-edged moniker. Gerard has remained willingly anonymous since his debut in 1995, but he came out of obscurity for a debut European Live performance in London in April 2006. Why he remains unknown is a mystery. In the future we will hear much more from this producer.

The meaning of the word Convextion is 'the internal movement of currents within fluids or gases.'

Aliases include E.R.P., Gerard Hanson, I/O, Syne Language

Comment: excellent set. Techno of the electronic-trip-hoppin-dub-steppin-minimal-detroit variety. This guy's got some talent.

Comment: this set is pure languid joy wrapped
up in intelligently moving tracks. it's filled
with spine meltingly good melodies, a great
electro vibe + astonishing dubby beats.
get ready for a journey of absolute sonic bliss.

i haven't been this moved by a set in a long
time. + even after several weeks, i keep coming
back to it over + over again.

enjoy!

Comment: This set is reminiscent of some of the best ambient/idm releases from the early-mid 90s on labels such as Instinct.

It's basically divided into three "parts." The first 30 minutes or so consist largely of dreamy washes of sound over milidly propulsive beats. The next 10 minutes or so has a rather dense dubby sound. A bit of the dubby sound is present in the last 7 minutes or so, combined with nice melodic sounds over a more intensified driving beat.

I suspect this will be in rather heavy rotation on my "playlist" for some time to come. Highly recommended.

Comment: This set only!runs 47:21 but you know what, it's well worth it. I agree with ysp's comments, this set is pure enjoyment wrapped in a warm blanket or at least that's the feeling I get. It's nice and calm, nothing too hectic and it's well blended.
It's calm and relaxed yet still chugs along. Nipper hits the nail on the head with her first line. Read above and then CHECK the download.

Comment: The sound quality is not bad, although you need to turn your volume up just a bit higher than you normally would for other downloads. I really love the sound about 20 minutes into this set, where Hanson moves his Electro 80s sound into an area that's soothing and minimal. The ending has almost a goa sorta feel. This definitely has a nice mixture of sounds.
