Jesus changed me...So I changed my music. Writing songs that will help us get into the presence of God, praise God, or give him thanks for circumstances conquered. He continues to enrich me and refuel me with each listen. Often finding new meaning to the lyrics or application for my current season. I hope they do the same for you! I'm doing this because I love Jesus and feel moved to use the gifts he's given me to share the Good News.

I update soundcloud infrequently, so if you like what you heard, head on over to my bandcamp for all the newest tunes ^_^

Based in California's Inland Empire, Nctrnm (Matthew McGilvery) creates instrumental electronic music and new media art, exploring the intersections of sound, visuals, movement, and text. His practice is distinguished by a mobile-centric production methodology, leveraging accessible technology for creative innovation and crafting immersive experiences.
Nctrnm constructs detailed sonic environments weaving analog-inspired textures with minimalist grooves and integrated field recordings. 

Drawing influence from downtempo, electronica, shoegaze, and ambient techno, his work prioritizes atmosphere, intentionality, and emotional resonance. This distinct approach is informed by his background in Decision Science (CSU Fullerton), employing principles of design thinking and behavioral strategy to shape evocative soundscapes.
His evolving discography includes foundational releases EQUINOX (2018), TRACES (2019), and NOVA (2021). These works paved the way for the textured explorations of his EPs FLUX (2023) and GEMINI (2024). Nctrnm's forthcoming fourth album, PXL, scheduled for release in late summer 2025, promises a deeper dive into themes of transition, loss, and identity.

Beyond music production, Nctrnm's multidisciplinary portfolio includes generative video, motion graphics, and interactive installations, often shared via Instagram (@nctrnm) and showcased at site-specific events. His live performances synthesize VJing, choreography, and narrative components into cohesive multisensory experiences. McGilvery further contextualizes his projects through critical writing and artist discussions shared via his personal blog and online Q&As.

Nctrnm invites listeners and viewers into reflective spaces, exploring the nuances of human experience through interconnected media. Thank you for your support here on SoundCloud.
