Erik Fratzke on the inspiration for "Intranscience"

While serving as the bassist for Minneapolis-based avant-jazz trio Happy Apple , Erik Fratzke also explores the doom and grandeur of heavy metal with his band Zebulon Pike. Formed in 2002, the hyper-complex and dense Zebulon Pike released their third full-length album "Intranscience" on September 13, 2008. On September 18th, 2008 Erik Fratzke joined us on Making Music and we discovered how he balances his interest in jazz, obscure 20th century composers, and progressive metal as a bassist and guitarist, jazz man and metal god.
