Austrian Richard Eigner writes spook-inducing ambient tracks that ransack your cranium’s music shelves for boxes marked ‘jazz’, ‘minimal music’ and ‘electronica’. His hypnotic passages won Austria’s Elektronikland Award (for experimental electronics) in 2005 and will soon be showcased on his record label Wald-Entertainment. A multimedia whiz, session drummer (for example on Patrick Wolf´s album Magic Position) and animator, other projects include the soundtrack for dance piece ‘Urgent Appetite’ by Canadian choreographer Laura Kappel, music clips for I-Wolf and Mika, and six months spent as Patrick Pulsinger's ‘studio slave’, helping on remixes and building a sound library. Richard also reckons he can distinguish the different saw-waves from Nord Modular and N.I. Reaktor, and there’s no way we’re calling him a liar.

Worked with Patrick Pulsinger, Patrick Wolf, Carl McIntosh (Loose Ends), Pamelia Kurstin, Hilary Jeffery, Franz Hautzinger, Todd Simon, Toby Laing (Fat Freddys Drop), Flying Lotus, Wolfgang "Fadi" Dorninger, August Engkilde, Andreya Triana, Gerald Votava, Thomas Jarmer (Garish), Matthias Kertal (Mika), Tibcurl, Barca Barxant (Silicone Pumpgun), Oliver Hangl, Ellen Muhr (A Bunny Situation), Mike Honeycutt, Gerhard Daurer, Roman Gerold.
