Having produced electronic and acoustic music in a variety of contexts since 2012, NTHNL’s work currently straddles both healing and contemporary creative spheres, leading regular sound baths as well as collaborative concerts. NTHNL first joined Youngbloods in 2023 by recording Movement in The Tunnel on the tracks of the NYC subway system. Since then NTHNL has been steadily expanding his unique style. In 2024 he released Ontogenesis, the third album in his Tranquility Studies series, combining electronic binaural frequencies with performances on a variety of instruments to create soundscapes that are at once calming, poetic and healing. Most recently NTHNL released Awareness of the Wind Within with acclaimed percussionist Sphente, combining gongs and winds into immersive long-form improvisations. His mastery of the flute, piano, and woodwind instruments has been featured in projects by Pons, Cola Boyy, Laura Wolf, and Liturgy, and met with wide critical acclaim that describes his productions as “genre-defying” and transportive.
White Dune is the electronic music project of Minneapolis drummer Dave Power. He makes downtempo, ambient, and IDM music inspired by the likes of Boards of Canada, Andy Stott, The Field, Aphex Twin, and other electronic music visionaries. His latest full length, “memory II: drift,” a 122-minute ambient/drone record, was released in October, and his new EP “FORMICA HALO” (his own attempt at making experimental, sample-based house music loosely inspired by a night he spent in the East Village of Manhattan at “The Loft”) was released on January 30th.
Andrew Fitzpatrick is a musician whose work includes collaborations with Bon Iver, Volcano Choir, and All Tiny Creatures. His solo music incorporates guitar, synthesizers, field recordings, and electronic processing.
Thomas Wincek operates in a number of disparate projects, usually behind a keyboard with any number of synthesizers and effects alongside him. As a member of indie projects Field Report and Volcano Choir—both of which boast several standout Wisconsin musicians—Wincek might contribute a melodic keyboard line, often adding electronic textures and sonic intricacies that push these projects beyond songwriting and musicianship. Under the moniker Emotional Joystick, Wincek has recorded a catalogue of breakbeat-centered electronic music—an erratic, unhinged take on EBM. But on his latest self-titled release, The Desert Of The Real Itself, Wincek stretches his compositional plane into two thirty-minute sides, centering Korg Wavestations, sequencers, and vocal processors reminiscent of kosmische minimalism mixed in with '80s synth programming. - Emili Earhart
