Digging the Dregs
I’ve been a fan of the label Audiodregs since before I lived in Portland, when I discovered a musician named E*Vax’s Parking Lot Music. The mysterious album contained some of the most incredible electronic sounds I’d ever heard. Only later did I find out that E*Vax (Evan Mast) was on a bedroom indie label he founded with his brother E*Rock (Eric Mast) in my home state of Oregon. It turned out that Eric was a great musician in his own right, and also an incredible visual artist whose drawings not only grace many of the eclectic Audiodregs releases, but also have been shown in the most avant-garde galleries from New York to Berlin to Tokyo. The guy’s a DIY renaissance man. Cool Hunting’s recent video (above) tells his story best.
Evan Mast is now half of the wicked electro-riff group Ratatat.
You can tag along on Eric Mast’s artistic adventures via his blog Light & Sound.
