Pensament Salvatge is the pseudonym that Eric uses for his compositions with Eurorack modular synthesizers, most of them soldered and assembled by hand by himself thanks to the kits and resources provided by different companies in the sector like Befaco or Thonk. Through the use of different functions and audio/modulation generators he intends to materialize the emotions and intensities that are going on inside him and to capture in a reliable way the high contrasts that often exist between them through the different musical parts that integrate the session.

The choice of the name is not random, it proposes a play on words between “Pensament” (aka Viola Tricolor, a flowering plant of the violalceae family) and “Salvatge” (growing in no order), therefore the leitmotiv of the project is mental health and is often accompanied by visuals of burning houses: a direct symbolism with the fierce intensities it can generate.

Before making music using Eurorack modulars, Éric experimented with different electronic media and took advantage of the limitations they often entail as a way to explore creativity. With Bitemap, a GameBoy + LSDJ tracker project, he started cautiously scrutinizing melodies and rythms landing up in a dizzying infoleptic maximalism; A good example of this is “Essential Nerd Tools”, the split shared with PLOM and released by Nyapster label. There’s also a crate called numèric another moniker he uses to publish tracks and versions of all kinds of styles using Ableton Live and mostly warping techniques to obtain glitches in an almost obsessive process in which audio samples are continuously recycled, such as CODE212, a microEP of 3 minutes and 32 seconds published by the label CO-DEPENDENT or numèric a cassette published by the Nuevo Sonido Nacional label.
