Eric Lawrence Chamberlain (born January 30, 1971 at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas) is an American-born musician and graphic artist. Current Activity Chamberlain currently helms the musical projects Index AI, Skylash, and Nom Silencieux. A self-taught designer, Chamberlain also engages in freelance graphics work. Background Eric Chamberlain was born Eric Lawrence Chamberlain at Ft. Leavenworth Kansas, during a tornado in the middle of the night. He is of German and Norwegian descent. After being in Kansas for nine months, he moved, with the help of his parents, to Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, then to Ft. Benning, Georgia, where he lived for four years. Being a military Army brat, he then moved back to Ft. Bragg, North Carolina for six years, followed by a stay in El Paso, Texas, then two years in Manila, Republic of the Philippines. This was followed by four years in Hawaii. He now lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he writes electronic music and hangs out with the snakes and lizards in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains while taking long hikes. Chamberlain attended Moanalua High School, in Honolulu, Hawaii, attended middle school at the International School in Manila, and attended McNair Elementary School in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. He attended the University of New Mexico for three years before dropping out to pursue design and music on his own. Music Index / IndexAI Chamberlain originally formed the band Index with two friends, Cody Cast and Kurt Luette, creating electro/industrial electronic music released on the COP Int'l recording label. After an EP (Never This Infliction) and a full-length CD (Sky Laced Silver), Chamberlain was the sole artist remaining in the project. Three more CDs (Black Light Twilight, Faith in Motion, Ultra Hard Shadow) were recorded and released, again, on the COP Int'l label, each achieving considerable critical acclaim. The suffix "AI" (Artificial Intelligence) was later added to the name to help differentiate Chamberlain's project from the growing number of other projects incorporating the word "index" into their names. Skylash A side-project, Skylash is an instrumental, dance music project. The first and, so far, only Skylash release, a full-length CD entitled Empyreal Day Dreams, was released on COP Int'l. It received good reviews but some complained that it was a watered-down, lighter version of Index material. Attempts to obtain a vocalist failed, thus Skylash apparently remains an instrumental project. Nom Silencieux Nom Silencieux (French for "silent name") is Chamberlain's musical project dedicated to ambient and textural soundscapes. One CD, Eyes are Clocks, has been released.
