On a recent trip back to Boulder, I had an opportunity to compose and record a number of new tracks while on tour with a crew of Communikey folks. The result of those sessions has taken the form of a 2-track digital release called “Memories of Atlantis.” It can be downloaded and/or purchased from my [...]
DEEP TAPES has graciously released the debut EP of my project with kikiilimikilii, Gross Bite, and our cassette tape “Yod EP.” Peep it here: http://deeptapes.com/gross-bite-yod-cassette/ The album art is really great, and Alex does all of the releases on his own time and with a lot of heart. Definitely worth the purchase. They are cheap. [...]
“Altered Purpose” “Altered Purpose” Sound Art Installation from Nathan Wheeler on Vimeo. I painted and drew pictures of my concept of the future of science, which are microorganisms that have been repurposed into human tools, like bacteria that glow or refract light, or function as batteries. I transformed these pictures into speakers using some wire [...]
The performance at Communikey was a great success! I’ve received a lot of positive feedback, and I loved playing alongside Basinski and McGuire. I’m finally in documenting mode again, so I should soon have some footage from my January show, “September Sixth.” I’m currently trying to track down more video from the Communikey performance. I [...]

Here are the notes from the Vimeo page: ————- Given sufficient time, oxygen, and water, any iron mass eventually converts entirely to rust and disintegrates. -Wikipedia The sound was created using Supercollider, [...]
Success! Colony Collapse Disorder went over very well with the folks at the Spark Festival in Minneapolis. Many thanks to all the staff, students, volunteers, and everyone else involved! It’s been a great place for meeting, connecting, and enjoying fellow enthusiasts. While I’ve been here, Randall Davidson and his wife Merilee Klemp have been kind [...]
Recently I’ve been fascinated by electronic drum sounds, and really, timbrel modeling in general. I’ve been working for a while on developing a standard synthesizer/sample library to combine and build my own drum sounds, mostly because I’ve been unable to find quality sounds without paying for them. It does feel a bit like I’m reinventing [...]
Colony Collapse Disorder, my solo for video and electronics, was recently accepted to the SPARK festival in Minneapolis!
