Seth Nehil
Seth Nehil (b. 1973) is a sound and video artist creating for a variety of contexts, including performance and installation. Nehil combines manipulated acoustic recordings, voices, instruments, granular synthesis and field recordings into richly detailed spaces with off-kilter rhythms, sudden junctures and explosive bursts. His compositions draw equally from classic musique concréte, film sound design, hip hop production and noise to form a uniquely hybrid sonic world. Seth Nehil has released over 15 albums of experimental sound on international labels, including Sonoris (France) and Senufo Editions (Italy). He has given concerts across Europe, Japan and the US. Nehil received an MFA in Music/Sound from Bard College. He teaches sound design, sound art and video at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Washington State University and Portland State University. (www.sethnehil.artdocuments.org)
