What a great team. I can vouch that they absolutely stand behind their instruments, and educate. Many years ago, I was getting started in DIY with their Wogglebug DIY kit. I made some huge mistakes that ended up actually melting the pcb and destroying some traces. Girts teased me a bit (well deserved) but then buckled down with another member of his team and stuck with me through the whole process of trying to fix it. We ended up using a clipped lead to restore the trace and got it working. What I never shared with the Erica Synths team is that I was working on it with my then 6-year old son. It was a lesson that stuck with him to this day about not giving up. To this day, whenever we solve a problem we got stuck on, we call it a “Wogglebug moment”. And now my son is helping me design our own PCB’s and breadboard projects. Thanks to you Girts, and the whole team. You guys rock! Oh… and yeah… That Wogglebug (along with numerous other Erica Synths modules) sits front and center in my rack to date. It runs rock solid, and never gets ignored.
Erica is a concentration of this ethic, of proliferating stem interest.. I have many friends in Latvia who were there when much of this was starting to grow 20 years ago with frac rac and pooling old synthesizers in the scene as it was at the time . What it has become is phenomenal..
Amazing! I love you guys already! I am new to the Synth world, but you guys are truly inspiring! Would love to work for you, do you hire/need Aerospace Engineers? Priekshroka buutu, ka es jau latviski runaaju un regulaari uz Riigu lidoju :) rock on
Girts & friends/associates at Erica are so rad. Respect. Great to observe this tight familial crew doing things their way, the right way. Neat little documentary here!

The commitment to build quality, durability, the user interface and innovation is what makes Erica gear so good. Great mini doco !
Nice quad vca 2 .. the perkons 1 is rad please don’t stand on it lol..
super cool. I have they Syntrx II and the Perkons, and I use them every day. Erica makes the best sounding in my opinion .
Yes their products sound amazing!🤩 Perkons & SYNTRX II are such amazing devices.

The ethics of the Latvian groups are phenomenal creating stem interests using music.
Always great to hear from Girts and to see what the team are doing. Thanks for this.

Thanks for all your hard work and inspiring machines!
This is the first time I hear about this .. I was a Moog entusiast way back in the early 80s - I'm rediscovering alot after 30+ years off the grid 🙂
Welcome back! 🙌
Same here… (re)discovered synths just before the pandemic and now I have way too much gear (including the Syntrx II) of course 😉
I thought that girl.in the shades was Erica.
This was cool! Great people!
