Erzatz is the alterego of Charles Blondeel. His music is all about random and luck, errors and shortcuts, emotions and data... The sound of a computer crash, the emotion in a shortcut. Erzatz can't read or write music; only his ears are his tools. He stumbles and stutters 'till "genius" takes over.
