Colfax is a distillation of musical ideas around blending old and new technology, reviving dying audio formats such as analog tape, analog synthesizers (particularly the Roland Jupiter 8 and Sequential Circuits Prophet VS) and a fascination with the past. Clearly inspired by artists like Boards of Canada and Freescha and early electronic music and music concrete of the 1950's, 60's and 70's, Colfax is another take on electronic music nostalgia. Since 2008, Colfax has been a featured artist for LoveTech, a bay area collective of extraordinary electronic musicians, composers and controllerists.

The Colfax remix of 'Here and Now' by Artemis earned top marks at the first Epiphyte Records Test Press event of 2010 and in November of the same year, Colfax remixed the Artemis/Divasonic song 'Truth' which was released as a single and featured on the RTFM Records Magazine Edition.

In collaboration with Lynda Arnold (aka Divasonic), Berkman will be releasing a duo piano record called "Hammer Inventions". It features piano compositions and layered orchestrations made entirely of sounds generated from the piano and will be out on October 15, 2011 on www.digitalblissproductions.com.

Colfax is currently working on his follow up to "Tape", a project called "The Jupiter Expeditions". It was recorded entirely on the Roland Jupiter 8 synthesizer and explores the planet Jupiter, it's moons and it's mysteries and features sampled voices by astronomers such as Carl Sagan, telling the ever evolving story of the most intriguing and perplexing astral body in our solar system. Release date TBA!
