About
Eric Heveron-Smith is a trombonist, bassist and sound engineer based out of Brooklyn. He has a musical and melodic aesthetic, with a focus on the blending of sounds which bridges the gap between playing and recording. Since a very young age, Eric has been an obsessive music listener, and his ears became highly trained as a result. Having played with a wide variety of groups, from disco-funk to old school swing, electronica to post-rock, Eric is a well-rounded musician who brings a sensitive versatility to any ensemble.
From 2002 - 2006, Eric attended the Hartt School of Music, and earned his degree in Music Production and Technology. His intuitive sense of melody and phrasing was also shaped during his time at Hartt, through his studies with trombone master Steve Davis. From Fall 2007 - early 2009, he was an intern and assistant engineer at The Seaside Lounge recording studio in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where he worked with artists such as A.C. Newman, Takka Takka, and Paul Banks (of Interpol).
Eric is currently a part of Aura Sonic Ltd., a mobile and location recording and production company which has been in business since the late 70’s. He is also a freelance engineer at The Seaside Lounge, as well as a freelance trombonist, bassist, and producer.
