Tripform

Pablo Manzarek (Tripform) brings sophisticated production to the Ambient, Glitch, Dubstep, and IDM sounds he is well-known for with his new full length album release, “Reflections of Life.”

Highly trained and very gifted ears and studio hands are just some of the many tools this experienced producer, record label owner, drummer, keyboardist, and son of The Doors’ keyboardist, Ray Manzarek, brings to the studio to bring us this deeply and highly moving art. The album reflects his original style as well as such influences as Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, The Orb, Tipper, Square Pusher, Boxcutter, and more.

Pablo Manzarek has been creating electronic music since the early 90’s. He has a vast knowledge of audio/sequencing software and hardware. He is also a fluent and accomplished drummer, keyboardist, and strings player. Born in 1973 and raised in Los Angeles, son of The Doors’ keyboardist, Ray Manzarek. Pablo has a rich history with music, and since his childhood has felt its influence. As a child, his father introduced him to the piano, an old arp synthesizer and a portable cassette deck. He later went on to drum machines, synths, samba classes, 4 track tape decks, high school bands, digital audio workstations, studios, and more.

In 1994 he co-founded the indie label Lo-Tek Records. Pablo went on to attend a recording engineering school in San Francisco to gain the mystical knowledge of the studio arts. He then returned to LA and founded Carpet Bomb Records in 1996, with mutual friends. The label released three albums in which Pablo’s work appears.

Additionally, around 1997, Pablo was seeking to start a band. It would be a new achievement to create a band which fused electronica with traditional rock elements, and also, playing live on stage without the aid of recordings. Splittling his brain in half; left hand for bass and right hand for melody, following in the footsteps of his father, he formed a band named AI. AI was signed by Dreamworks Records. They eventually teamed up with Chris Vrenna (of Nine Inch Nails) as producer. The self titled album was released in August of 2002.

These days, Pablo is mostly splitting his time between being a family man, and furthering his love of music. Most recently he created tracks for the band Rites of Ash’s remix album, and he is working with Todd Gray on a live visual art performance of African elements blended with electronica and general exoticness. Pablo is also presently creating songs with his father on various interesting musical adventures, and collaborating with his wife on vocals on a project entitled “Noah’s Star.”
