Biography
Nathaniel Eras is an American born multi-disciplinary conceptual artist, sound designer and composer based in Los Angeles & Playas de Tijuana. Works include music scores for films “Drunk Bus”, “How I Learned To Fly”, and “Bedtime”. Other sound design work includes IFC’s Speak No Evil, A24’s Midsommar, and Blitzar Media’s “And They Will Talk About Us”.

Eras’ contemporary sculpture and interactive works include “Behold A White Horse“ a multi-media interactive installation at Kunsthalle Faust Hannover Germany, “Fronteras Simbióticas” as an interactive sound design architect with MDAP for World Design Capital: 2024, presented at CECUT Centro Cultural and Antiguo Cine Bujazan and "The Embrace Of The Infinite Here & Now" as a featured artist in residency at NettNett Space Tijuana BC MX. Eras also cites inspiration from experimental performance art and underground rave culture, scenes in which he is deeply entrenched in running and developing his art practice at the collaborative ephemeral art space Vertexx.io 2017-2021 which hosted some of Los Angeles' most revered gatherings in recent memory.

On Nathaniel Eras' evolving music series project stemming from earlier conceptual works, a series of 3 releases are slated for release titled 'Omniaglyph 0,1 & 2. The LA-based producer offers a sonic triptych and averts any strict notions of genre, diving headfirst into deeper, esoteric soundscapes and embracing the moodier elements that have punctuated his catalog by pairing mystic beauty against a bleak, industrial and dystopian compositions. Taking an instinctual approach to his music, Eras' creative process merges sounds, patterns, and textures intending to open discussion and connect disparate musical ideas.

With a zeal for noise, minimalism, and dizzying sense of rhythmic prowess - the 'Omniaglyph' triptych wields power with restraint reminiscent of the adventurous post-human atmospheres of Autechre and the dark growling sound design of Ben Frost or Jóhann Jóhannsson. Riding the fine line between drone squall and euphoric ambient explorations, Eras' latest is a potent tangling of film score abstractions with spectral electronics. While much of 'Omniaglyph' is a solitary effort, there are collaborative experiments with live instrumentation featuring saxophone (Scott Page of Pink Floyd), electric viola (Kathia Rudametkin), modular synth (Samur Khouja) and musique concrète tape loops (Ana Reptiliana).

“Whether releasing tracks as Abstract Source or through his many collaborations, you get the idea that this brilliant artist and teacher will touch the lives of many people. His steady flow of directed and passionate energy takes the form of a wonderfully unpredictable musical output"

Music means everything to Jules and after a chat about the many layers of his career, he reveals more than a few surprises. From his past DJ exploits playing on a desert island in Malaysia, a Chinese temple for NYE or, closer to home at Dalston's bustling Superstore.

He possesses a unique energy which fills his long white walled studio in Brick Lane, enthusing about the artists he’s collaborated with, like techno pioneer Russ Gabriel on 'The Return EP'. He's most at home among LED lights, flickering buttons and pulsing switches, while drum machines and sequencers roll effortlessly into action to reveal new tracks.

After a spell running the label Abstrakt Dance with techno kingpin Colin Dale, Jules is now focussing on his Abstract Source sound. From the lush house of ‘Day to Night’ on Chicago’s Large Records to the gyrating drum & bass of ‘Tell Me’ on London’s V Recordings.

His music has found its way into some esteemed places: Peter Gabriel's Cue Songs have picked up the rights to his catalogue while Finlay Cowan (Pink Floyd Illustrator) has commissioned him to soundtrack a new project, the intriguing 'Subway Slim'.

Jules is currently developing a music therapy project aptly named DMT (Digital Music Therapy) which stems from a recent bout of insomnia. He has already delivered sound workshops to over 200 people and an album is on its way.
