Artist Name: Åpenheart (Eric Robinson)

Short Bio

Apenheart is the genre-bending project of multi-instrumentalist Eric Robinson, fusing live-looped piano grooves with psychedelic textures, jazz-inspired harmonies, and the raw energy of progressive rock. Based in Eugene, Oregon, Apenheart crafts richly dense, highly original compositions that unfold in real time—each performance a living, breathing soundscape.

With deep harmonic layers of piano, guitar, vocals, percussion, and trumpet textures, Apenheart performances deliver the richness of a full band. Blending the technical mastery of live production with the spontaneity of improvisation, each show is built in real time—looping within song structures while leaving space for both instrumental and loop-based exploration. The result is a truly unique, immersive experience every time.
