Biography
NATE YOUNG (b. 1977, Mansfield, MO) is a Detroit-based musician working in experimental electronic sound for over twenty years.
In 1998, Young founded legendary noise group Wolf Eyes.
Solo and as Wolf Eyes, Young has toured the world, released countless records, collaborated with Anthony Braxton and Marshall Allen, and inspired a generation of electronic musicians.
Recent accomplishments include performing his compositions with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and creating Trip Metal Fest, an annual free experimental music festival in Detroit that has brought luminaries such as Morton Subotnick and the Art Ensemble of Chicago to Detroit.
In 2016, Young co-created (with John Olson) the record label Lower Floor Music, an
imprint of Warp Records. In the Regression series–Regression (2009), Stay Asleep (2011), Other Days (2012), Blinding Confusion (2013)–Young drew a compositional
aesthetic from Italian library music and musique concrète. Since then, Young has been
interpreting the traditional musical methods of rhythm and melody into complex synthesizer compositions. These songs were commonly made as a distraction from grief, seasonal depression, and isolation. Sometimes severely ridiculous and unrelenting other times slow, sparse and strange, this material didn’t fit in with the Regression series. It was archived and unreleased until now.
