Erik Cronin has been quietly producing under the name Codine
since 2000. Influenced heavily by the Detroit electro sounds of Aux 88,
Dopplereffekt and the rigid, angular industrial rhythms of Nitzer Ebb,
Cronin's main objective with the Codine project is to synthesize the
two similar sonic worlds into a tapestry that is uniquely his own.
After several remixes and self released CD releases, Cronin made his
live performance debut in 2004.
In 2006 he collaborated with Thinkbox artist Rob Theakston for an
installation piece currently on tour in museums and art galleries
across the United States and Canada. 2007 finds Codine making a proper
debut on Detroit's Blank Artists imprint. A forthcoming release on
Detroit's Feed The Machine records and several remixes are currently in
the works.
