Tres Ikner is a producer, multi-instrumentalist, recording and live-sound engineer, multimedia producer, and co-founder of Dutch Holly, the electronic indie pop duo he formed with Jen Juniper in 2010. In Dutch Holly, Ikner works across guitar, keyboards, electronic arrangement, rhythm/MIDI programming, live looping, recording, and production, helping translate Juniper and Ikner’s songs into the layered electronic sound heard on record and onstage.
Tres Ikner has recorded and produced much of Dutch Holly’s catalog and produces much of the duo’s video and visual media. He also creates album and single artwork, websites, graphics, and other design assets for Dutch Holly and outside projects.
Onstage, Tres Ikner’s role is part musician and part systems operator: guitar, keyboards, programmed elements, effects, MIDI, looping, and the duo’s technical architecture work together with Juniper’s vocals and live instrumentation to create a full live electronic arrangement from two performers.
Together with Juniper, Ikner co-produces Synthesis Microfest and operates Low Key Organic, extending the pair’s work beyond Dutch Holly into independent electronic-music events, production, and creative infrastructure in Arizona.
