Indiana-based electronic producer Freeze Etch (Adam Duckworth) has been releasing music since 2002. The FE sound has been described as being "equal parts ambient, drone, minimalist, IDM and bits of industrial all together," incorporating rich melodic influence and brooding elemental qualities amidst driving industrial rhythms and textures, and has been likened to everything from Gridlock and Somatic Responses to Steve Reich and even Barry Adamson. Adam is also a classically-trained pianist, a club/radio DJ, and has been involved in several much lesser-known Dada-inspired experimental/noise projects with others, which bear little to no relation sonically or thematically to FE. Adam works closely with graphic artist/illustrator/web designer Eric Carl (his cousin).
