Gerstein | en

Born in fall 1984 as a personal-musical project, Gerstein has been moving his sound between: solo melancholic piano ballads, experimental harsh sounds, synth-guitar powerful extravaganza to the actual electronic semi melodic tracks. In all these years twelve tapes have been released through a personal label called Infektion Prod or with many others such as: Misty Circles (I), BrokenFlag (UK), Minus Habens (I), Bekko Bunsen (I), HAX (I), etc. In 1993, the first full length vinyl album titled "Sucker" has been released joining the efforts with Misty Circles and changing the name from Infektion Prod to Purity.

Here the piano is still the principal instrument but also bass guitar, drum machine and guitars have been used. The 1994 is the year of the rising sun and a new energy move the project, the releasing of the new split mini-cd "Harakiri for seven strings" is the naked reality. Here Gerstein is proud to bring you: "The first step into my deep throat"and the assault of "In the shadow of the sun". At the end of that year a new member joined Gerstein: Johnny Mastrocinque (sampler machine). The music became darker and tense... The new tracks were a sort of dark soundtrack. Piano, synths, guitar, samples, everything was used each time in a different way to create sicksongs with a melodic taste. Unfortunately at the end of 1999, after the recordings of "Burn", Johnny left because his involvement with different hip hop bands. .
