Short for Event Related Potential, E.R.P. is the alias under which Gerard Hanson, aka Convextion, produces lush and melodic electro-techno inspired by <a href="spotify:artist:2Djz8cbEv5rtrYrJYdzQ20">Model 500</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3KcV1kKG7Y0Gq7xPAGVjkZ">Drexciya</a>. The low-profile Texan released the first E.R.P. tracks in 1996 on <a href="spotify:artist:1oVf0cfQgUdH67xS1R3tws">Sean Deason</a>'s Detroit-based <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Matrix+Records%22">Matrix Records</a>, the same label where he debuted a year earlier as the dub techno-leaning Convextion. E.R.P. appeared to be a one-off project until 2005, when Hanson reactivated it on the local <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Down+Low+Music%22">Down Low Music</a> with a self-titled EP. Around a dozen subsequent 12" releases followed through the mid-2010s on imprints such as <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Ai%22">Ai</a> (England), <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Frustrated+Funk%22">Frustrated Funk</a> (Netherlands), and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Semantica%22">Semantica</a> (Spain), the latter the home to the three-part Evoked Potentials series. Hanson also factored heavily into a couple <a href="spotify:artist:6z9JhbmcTrVKITp9ah4mJk">Hardfloor</a> releases issued during this period. The evocative and winding paths the producer had taken with his E.R.P. tracks seemed just as adaptable to the album format as any of his influences, and in 2018, he issued his first double pack, Afterimage, on his Forgotten Future label. A slightly darker and harder-edged follow-up, Exomoon, arrived the next year. After a 2023 EP on om:nia (Germany), Hanson found another home for E.R.P. on Madrid's <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Apnea%22">Apnea</a> label, and released Faded Caprice, a soundtrack for a late-summer night drive, in 2024. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
