// AERA // Erez Yaary
I make electronic worlds by hand.
AERA is where my studio, my technology workbench, and my finished music live together: hypnotic patterns, deep atmosphere, handmade circuits, and the human process behind the sound.
// Three entrances
Studio. Technology. Music.
01 / Studio
The musical room.
Studio is where I show the music while it is still alive in the room: hands on instruments, sequences forming, patches changing direction, and the visual atmosphere around the sound.
02 / Technology
The workbench.

My first DIY effect, built in 2007: Jurgen Haible's clone of the Schulte Compact Phasing A, the legendary Krautrock phaser.

// Biography
Erez Yaary: the person behind AERA.
AERA is personal: the studio, the instruments, the technology builds, the early rooms, the mistakes, the listening, and the long search for the right sound.
I’m Erez, and I release electronic music under the name AERA.
My music builds a world of hypnotic patterns and deep, spacious atmosphere.
I hand-build and refine my own equipment because the instrument, the room, and the person listening all leave a trace on the final sound.
