Just for the holidays, here’s a free mp3 from Erratik artist Ryan Rapsys: Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Remix 2008 (3.2mb mp3 file)

It is more closely based on the original melody by Franz Xaver Gruber, composed in 1818 and based on the text written by Rev. Joseph Mohr in 1816. Of course, this version is considerably more modern in arrangement and sound (more of a sound sculpture imitating the melodies). Enjoy!

The review is available from the Duluth News Tribune website here: Playhouse captures the holiday heart of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’

Erratik artist Ryan Rapsys is currently composing the original music for the Duluth Playhouse’s theatrical production of It’s A Wonderful Life, which will open on December 4th. For more information, please visit: Duluth Playhouse: It’s A Wonderful Life

From the Duluth Playhouse website:

America’s own version of Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol,” the play tells the story of an Everyman, George Bailey from small-town Bedford Falls, who decides that his life’s dreams and hops have been so dashed that one Christmas Eve he is ready to throw himself off the town’s bridge. In a magical turn of events, George’s guardian angel takes him on an odyssey to see what a wonderful life he really has had and how the world would have been different without him.

Capturing the true spirit of the season and of Frank Capra’s classic 1946 holiday film, the play will uplift audiences with its timeless themes of love, family, and community.

More information will be available soon!

Pirtlean is an underground hip-hop LP that clearly defines Dante’s feelings towards race, the adolescent mindframe, and the state of hip-hop at this moment. His work is a declaration of his of the intelligent black male MC, as well as a launch of his entertainment group of playwriting and lyricism. His work is classic, yet very creative. The LP includes tracks with a lot of bass, some tracks you can dance to, some you can vibe to, and others that take you back in the day.

Listen to samples and buy the CD here: Dante’ Pirtle alias Don Jamar - Pirtlean

This album will also be available on iTunes in the near future….check back for updates!

Erratik Productions will be releasing the digital album Pirtlean by Dante Pirtle within the next month or so. It’s the first hip-hop release by Erratik, further expanding our eclectic catalog. Ryan Rapsys mastered the album, as well as recorded, mixed and produced several tracks on the album.
