Aerium is Leander Rispens from Friesland, Holland. He has produced trance and ambient music since the age of sixteen. In 2006, he was launched into the spotlight when his debut release "Dolphins" was played three times on Armin van Buuren's popular ASOT trance radio show.
Born in 1985, Leander was one of those kids who fell in love with electronic dance music via the radio. (You can probably still find (antique) MC tapes with tracks from 2 unlimited and Snap hidden deep inside the secret places of his bedroom.) By taking piano lessons, he quickly learned the basics of making music, such as chords, riffs, improvising, and so on. After the popularity of the house scene dropped, his attention turned briefly to rock/pop. But that changed when he heard the sounds of Rank 1, Chicane, and Cygnus X. Hopelessly in love with this music, he bought his first trance CD in 2000. After listening to CD’s and singles for years, he found playing piano wasn't challenging anymore. That fact – in combination with his love for trance music – made the synthesizer an obvious choice. His first MIDI sequencer followed, and with that came his first tracks. Equipped with both better hardware and software, Aerium’s productions have finally reached a professional level.
