Salvador Dalek was born June 2001 as the collaborative project identity of multimedia musician/artist/designers Eric Scott and Peter Moraites, after meeting at a workshop with Tomato based in New York City. They have chosen this recording/remixing moniker as a channel for new creative and professional activities.
Not to be confused with Salvador’s wiser, older sibling, Julie Android, Dalek operates in a definitionless, sampladelic universe.
The first Salvador Dalek public event – was a performance LIVE JAM (Listen) in Venice, CA during the Peter Moraites DVD launch party in May 2006.
