[edit] History
Scott Sturgis is a Seattle, Washington, USA-based music producer, best known for his power noise/rhythmic noise project Converter. The harsh and distorted sounds of Converter were influenced by noise music and artists featured on the Ant-Zen record label. He has since released material on both Ant-Zen and it's imprint label Hymen Records.
Sturgis was involved with electro-industrial band Pain Station when he began work on Converter as a side-project in March of 1998. Sturgis has since been quoted as saying "Both projects are pretty equal in my eyes and neither one takes precedence over the other right now. Of course, if you ask me which project is more fun to work on, I'd tell you it's Converter." On early releases, Sturgis used only an Ensoniq ASR 10 keyboard/sampler to produce music. Sturgis has also worked under the aliases DBS and Notime.
