Erik Hinds

Erik Hinds of Athens, Georgia is active as a composer, performer, and promoter of a wide range of music. He plays quartertone electric guitar and the H'arpeggione, an upright acoustic instrument with 12 sympathetic strings. Erik focuses on the raw sound of his strings in all their microtonal glory; his style blends primitive folk, heavy metal, and sacred musics from around the world into a distinct voice. Erik has played with countless improvisers and performs regularly around the country, to the delight of millions. Erik runs Solponticello Records, looks good in black (the new salmon), and is obsessed with old-school arcade games.
