Nate Trier

Nate Trier is a composer and producer who creates lyrical piano and accordion melodies over churning soundscapes of buzzing drones, fuzzy drums, and crackling static. He describes his music as “classical ambient beats,” and others have said it’s “quite engrossing” (KFFP) and “like looking into your soul” (Raighes Factory); the New Haven Independent dubbed him a “Rosetta Stone” for his ability to make experimental music accessible to listeners. His music has travelled worldwide: abstract visual artist Sergei Petrov used Trier’s music for installations in Zelenograd, Russia, and the 48th International Summer Course for New Music in Darmstadt, Germany distributed a recording of Trier’s experimental electronics piece, “Serial Parameter Shift,” to participants. Additionally, Trier co-released a cassette with UK-based guitarist and modular synthesist encym. To date, Trier has released 8 collections of electronic music, including singles, EP’s, and albums (including two albums of 60-minute long ambient drone compositions).

Currently, Trier is releasing a new song every month in 2022. He also creates weekly music tutorials on YouTube and livestreams his production process on Twitch.
