Modular synthesized music artist Nate Mattson works on the experimental edge. Performing on a collection of interconnected electronic boards piled with wiring that looks like a spaghetti dinner, Mattson sequences a stunning array of sounds. He melds music, sound effects and electronic beats into something distinct and unsettling. Mattson described his 2022 release, Volume 2, as the “perfect background music for a science fiction horror role-playing game or an actual alien hunting expedition.” His debut EP, Volume 1, was released in 2017.
