Let's make your track EPIC. My training as a composer has given me insight into making productions that are HUGE and intimate tracks that whisper in your ear. Let's polish your art into the beautiful gem that it can be!
Hey! My name is Erik Norman (ERIXOUNDS) and I am a music producer based in Orange County and Los Angeles. I love to make Alt and Indie music with plenty of synths, guitars, drum sets, lush vocals, addicting harmonies, and FX. Think Toro y Moi, Bahamas, Lucius, etc. If this sounds up your alley, I'd love to set up a call and chat! : )

check_circleVerifiedIt was a pleasure to work with Eric!
He was professional from the start, always open to my ideas and to any criticism. Always available and would answer to my emails the same day. The work was done fast and with great quality.
We can hear Erik's been doing/writing music for some time. He made a full production from a simple songwriting idea that brought the project new ideas.
The final production tracks were delivered organized and ready for the mixing phase.
100% would recommend!

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
