What is Carpentron?
Carpentron
is the solo project of Chris Torgersen, a Brooklyn, NY, songwriter and
composer who has recently returned from a long dormant period. Chris is
a founding member of and frequent contributor to The
Very Us Artists, and a member of post-industrial
neo-alternative rock duo The Synthasium with John LaSala. He is also an
avid devourer of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and, bizarrely
enough, has an MBA.
Chris has been composing since the early 1990s. He started out with a
little Casio keyboard and a 4-track cassette recorder and eventually
worked his way up to MIDI files and a digital 8-track recorder, and
from there moved on to doing work on his computer. His music is mostly
electronic in nature, though it takes influence from mostly
non-electronic sources like 70s progressive rock. One could say it is
like Nine Inch Nails meets Peter Gabriel-era Genesis with some Rush
mixed in.
Chris has a real passion for writing about himself in third person.
