Interface is one of New York’s longest-lived underground electronic acts, founded in 1993 by programmer/producer/lead vocalist Eric Eldredge. Originally signed to Tinman Records, the band moved on to Nilaihah Records in 2005.
Each of Interface’s albums has been met with high critical acclaim and regular club play in all corners of the globe: The Artemis Complex (1999), Angels in Disguise (2002), Beyond Humanity (2006), and Visions of Modern Life (2009). The band has also shared stages with notable electronic acts over the years such as Assemblage 23 and The Human League.
Endorsed by CME since 2005, Eric employs a UF6 as a master studio and onstage controller. Live keyboardist Jon Billian has a UF5 and an SAC Bitstream controller.
“What I love most about the CME products is their extreme durability and the feel of their keys. It’s a joy to use the UF in the studio with my computer setup, as well as when I play live and take it out to control my Virus TI. Many controllers out there don’t feel to me like they’re built to stand up for very long, so the construction of the UF really sealed the deal for me. I also am highly into the new expansion options that are out for them, too!” – Eric Eldredge of Interface
"Having already used these controllers in the studio, we feel very safe bringing the UF's out onto the road due to their great construction. Other controllers felt like toys to us and we wouldn't want to take them along for the ride. And the card options make them even quicker to set up - just one Fire Wire cable to our laptops!
These feel better than any other controller I've ever played - and even better than many synths I've owned too. It made me really enjoy playing keyboards again! Jonny and I can't wait to see what CME does next!"- Eric Eldredge, Band founder
