| Studio History | |||
CrackerArts Studio began more as a group of kids playing instruments than a group wanting to record music. In 1988, three friends got together to create “alternative” and original music. Settling for a few years under the name Society Rhed, the group had some success with their own blend of alternative rock. Their music combined elements of The Cure, New Order/Joy Division, punk roots, and just flat out noise. At this point in time, Society Rhed recorded on any piece of equipment they could find, including simple home stereo systems and primitive 2-track reel-to-reels. |

After high school, Society Rhed’s main writer and source of inspiration moved north for college. The remaining members, Scot Ackerman and Jason Urban, combined forces into an all-electronic unit. This new formation became known as EOAfac, short for Ether Ore Assembly Factory. Throughout college, both Jason and Scot continued writing electronic music and occasionally picking up new electronic instruments. Over several years during college, EOAfac created more than 100 aural images, of which a few actually became finished songs. | ||
| Once both Jason and Scot were finished school, they were able to afford more instruments and specific recording equipment. CrackerArts Studio was formed as a project studio for EOAfac. The equipment list grew out of a necessity for high quality recordings. Although CrackerArts Studio was formed out of a small budget, a high quality recording was possible due to careful planning and extensive equipment knowledge. |  |

| CrackerArts Studio was later moved to a location used exclusively for writing and recording music. Scot and Jason began recording for outside bands, producing many CD projects as well as a few simple remixes. Over the past few years, the equipment purchases at CrackerArts Studio and the knowledge gained from the early recording projects have allowed the studio to grow into what it is today. | |||
