Dave Kerzner

Dave Kerzner's interest in progressive music was piqued by early Genesis music. He was introduced to them by his good friend and band collaborator Jamie Rickel (drums). The early years were spent tirelessly working on and developing original recordings, along with Dave Silverman (bass and vocals).

In the early 1990s, Kerzner began collecting rare musical instruments. When 16-bit stereo digital sampling technology became available, Kerzner sampled the instruments to license to major digital musical instrument manufacturers including Alesis, Roland and Yamaha. After an endeavor in the music software industry, Kerzner worked with Madonna, Ringo Starr, and the Moog Cookbook as both a musician and as a sound engineer.

In 1994, Kerzner contributed to Kevin Gilbert's solo album Thud and appeared as a band member on Gilbert's live album Live at the Troubadour. Kerzner joined the band Giraffe as keyboardist for a one-off tribute performance of Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album at Progfest '94 in Los Angeles.

In December 2014, Kerzner released his first solo album, New World. The album features numerous artists including Fernando Perdomo, Nick D'Virgilio, Francis Dunnery, and Durga McBroom. Produced and mixed by Kerzner, New World was funded in part via a Kickstarter campaign.

The album's vocals and keyboards were provided by Kerzner. Using technology from Sonic Reality, mock-up tracks were created with Kerzner playing all of the instrumentation. After tracks were re-recorded live by other musicians he mixed the tracks. Renowned recording engineer Tom Lord-Alge mixed the album's first single release, "Stranded".
