Bio:
Norik has been representing the rhythms of Drum and Bass since 1999. Starting at the ripe age of 15, Norik (Erik Finsrud) decided to drop his 5 years of guitar playing to take up the wheels of steel.
Before he was able to have a crate of records to call his own, he would raid his father's collection of jazz and funk, practicing hours on end with the sounds of Herbie Hancock and Weather Report.
Shortly after, the local dj's took Norik under their wing, donating their old records, and showing him the ropes, and soon he was playing clubs and underground desert parties all over Arizona. In 2004 he started producing his own music, and has moved to Florida to study audio engineering and graphic design to begin his career in the entertainment industry.
2006 was the year he started to take his producing seriously and began receiving attention from some of the big wigs of the scene. He has received plays by Stunna, Subject 13, Dak, Style Control, Robot Death Squad, Peyo, DB, and London Elektricity on the award winning Hospital Podcast, as well as grazing the pages of drum and bass monthly, Knowledge Magazine.

Art for SALE
9/7/2007 at 2:55 PM
I'm moving and need to sell my work, it's too big to travel with.
I have one giclee piece, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330163261248 "The American" on ebay
I'm also selling "If You're a Man" http://www.finsruddesign.com/html/malcolm_x.html, which is also a giclee of similar size for about the same price.
Big plus, 15% of the sales from these items go to charities against racism and environmental destruction.
If you decide you want to buy both, i will knock $200 from the total.

American? See SiCKO!!

Just saw michael moore's new documentary, SiCKO, a must see for any American.
I don't care if you love or hate micheal moore, if you're republican, democrat, green party, socialist, conservative, liberal, whatever. This movie is not about any of that, it's about a corrupt US health care system, and a US government that is leaving it's people to die and suffer from ludicrous health care costs, it's about caring for your own health, as well as your family and your fellow man. Something we can all find common ground with, well except you non-americans who have free health care, among other great social benefits. Damn you, i'm jealous :P Go see it anyhow, maybe your ways can rub off on some of us yanks.
Not only was the message of the movie heart wrenching and sobering, but it was also an amazing piece of documentary film making, and in turn was also very entertaining.
Open your mind, and go have a night watching SiCKO, and let me know what you thought.
