tulpas93was born in New England, his family encouraged musical talents through piano lessons and an early exposure to diverse musical forms. As a teen, Erik taught himself to play Guitar utilizing his beginning piano books. After leaving the East Coast, he traveled throughout the U.S, studying flute, trumpet, alto saxophone, harmonica, bass guitar, banjo, and various hand drums while deepening his understanding of the music. His involvement with the sacred music of India began in Santa Fe, New Mexico with instrument builder and multi-instrumentalist Matthew Autry. The two explored "just intonation", worked on harmonic theory, and learned much of the Indian Classical music-speak. When he moved to Olympia, WA, he continued the study of Indian Classical music with sitarist Stephanie Donchey, tabla players John Abrahams and Alexei duCré, flautist Celia Chantal, and other guest musicians.
