The Sonic Empire

There is nothing so powerful as sounds that set your feet to tapping or your brain to thinking.

Christopher Eissing

Composer, performer, artist. This is Chris's home for his personal projects that bear his name.

Plastic Houses

Technology and synth-based sounds evolving for 35 years through New Wave, Dark Wave, avant garde.

x-static urge

A sexy blend of EDM, techno, hip-hop and funk. It is the comfortable thing you slip in to when you take a moment to slip in to something comfortable.

Choking Bliss

Rock evolved. Jam deconstructed. Brain food you can dance too.

The Mean Little Man

Old angst for a new generation. The origin story for The Sonic Empire. The lifestyle brand for alternative music and music-based lifestyles equally comfortable with both peace signs and middle fingers.

The Sonic Empire

Channelling the cool local record stores of old - where the shop's name was shared with the shop's 'zine, the owner's band, and the owner's bad tattoo.

The Sonic Empire

The Sonic Empire is a 30-year dream come to life. And it is only the beginning.
