New EP dropping this May! 14/05/24
Excited to share the first of a 3 part series Omniaglyph 0,1 & 2. Digital streaming releases slated for 2024 with support by @tracknumberrecords - These works were collected over the past few years produced during travels from/to Los Angeles, Tijuana and Berlin. Hybrid structures in sound and genre; from the pulsating dense beats screeching out late nights at Vertexx to the atonal active sound experiments at Nett Nett and Handbag Factory to the serene contemplative walks in Berlin’s Tiergarten, while contemplating experimental music for films from an alternate dimension.
Clips from this reel were extracted from forthcoming video project Ancestral Memory directed by @reveka.ryzhykova - Omniaglyph icon cover and digital art in collaboration with @derekholguin and @lucid.interval - audio mix in collaboration with @seahorsesound stay tuned for show info and details, like share etc. thank you!

Recurring art/documentary project Nathaniel Eras 5D Audio Space collaboration with hosts Gold Extra +Technical design manager Reinhold Bidner (Austria) and 3d designer Derek Holguin (Los Angeles) Schedule a time to meet with me as avatars here - in cyberspace/metaspace. nathaniel.eras@gmail.com - no special tech/gear is needed besides standard device and internet.

The sound design was created by techniques and the concept includes 3 unique sounds stations. A digital memory of one of my childhood visions. The audio triptych represents the life death cycle while asking the question “What is home?”

Omniaglyph 2023 // Digital platforms coming soon…

Aug 6th through Sep 3rd

Nathaniel Eras will be the featured artist in residency at NettNett Space Pasaje Rodríguez, Av Constitución 720, Zona Centro, 22000 Tijuana, B.C. https://nettnettradio.com/

The artist will construct an installation within the space titled “The Embrace Of The Infinite Here & Now” as the first installment of his “Ephemeral Memory” Series.

The intention for this work is to activate a symbolic container designed to encompass and encourage the viewer to become living ephemeral art within and around the piece.

The viewer is free to engage with the installation as they like and are not required to perform any specific actions, however the artist requests that upon entering the general area, that the viewer consider that he/she/they/them is/are living art.

Throughout the month of August until the beginning of September there will be a few special  happenings that will occur in and around the art installation.

Saturday, August 6th | 6pm - Midnight. Join Al Límite in a collective physical exploration of Eras’ exhibition. Wear something…comfortable. Participants who activate themselves will be offered suggestions and demonstrations punctuated by aural, tactile and light based cues. This series of guided exercises, collectively called Futuro Yo, are physical and vocal and based on the work of The Living Theatre, as well as paratheatrical experiments devised by Al Límite.   As the physio-social dialogue within the art develops, the event will move and morph in physical, sonic, and visual directions of its own. Accented with a live sensorial biofeedback performance by MDAP using brainwaves, heart beats and movement + a DJ set and light show.

Sunday, August 7th | 2pm - 5pm. Sonic Playground session “two” sharing sounds and disrupting borders with community through Radio with Marco Gomez Perez & Christian Gonzalez. Homegrown presents: Recreo Sónico// Sonic Playground. A three-part series of cross-border workshops where learners will explore the science of sound and audio production as a means of telling, owning, and exploring their own stories within our multidimensional borderlands. We will create a community and a space for folks from both sides of the border to learn, create and express themselves while listening to the sounds of their surroundings, sharing sounds through radio waves via community radio, and learning how to use cheap and readily available tools and materials to create new sonic landscapes. By offering both practical audio-production skills along with a platform to listen and learn how to share, Sonic Playground // Recreo Sónico will provide a space to play around with the possibilities of sound, under the mentorship of local audio makers, so we might listen more closely to our shared yet separate audio waves. https://airtable.com/shr3dg9UE4QeWhmn1

Architects + Heroes 

And I looked, and behold a white horse: and it projected that rebirth was coming, and beauty followed with it. And power was given unto them over the fourth dimension of the metaverse, to reboot with an avatar, and with desire, and with transformation, and with the unknown parallel dimension.

Collaboration with Nathaniel Eras, Derek Holguin and Marjum Oskui for California Dreams Exhibition + Haydee Jimenez, Klaus Vom Bruch, Natalie Deseke, Benjamin Petersen.
Interactive sound media with conductive materials, organic materials, and video hologram installation at Kuntsthalle Fause Hannover Germany 2021

In a cooperation between KV Kunsthalle Hannover and the independent organization Nettnettradio based in Tijuana, Mexico and the independent artist group Lucid Interval based in L.A.. Mexican and Californian artists together with their German colleagues presented a spectrum of partly interactive media works and jointly developed strategies for their implementation and media presence.The starting point was the conceptual orientation of the project in the experiment to bring the Californian spirit of innovation, the mentality of its people in terms of internationality, openness and inventiveness to Hanover and to open up the potential of artistic interventions aimed at the future and utopia with the inclusion of digital technologies in discourse. Equally important was the strategy of networking between the partners to establish a common artistic platform in the Beuysian sense of a social sculpture. As a first result of the networking, the idea of implementing the project through an exhibition architecture consisting of several spherical, interlocking rooms to form a total work of art was already developed in the run-up to the exhibition in several Zoom conferences.

A series of freshly cut branches hanging down from a supporting structure, wrapped in copper wire and ultimately connected to a computer, act as receptors and form a transfer medium to the visitors, who can trigger a sound scenario by touching the branches.Thus, for example, temporally stretched tone sequences of an Accordion can be heard, which plays an important role in traditional Norteño Mexican music as well as in German folk music and also represents an analogy to digital tone modulation with regard to the physics of the elongated tone generation. The artist with Mexican roots himself makes another connection when he says: “the dying branches represent the arms of my ancestors” 

The next step in achieving the goals was to closely coordinate the auditory components of the media works brought in or developed on site with an audiovisual center located within a white cube in the middle of the exhibition hall. There, visitors were able to send various sound patterns into the exhibition hall by touching suspended receptors in the form of branches, collected by the artist Nathaniel Eras, without acoustically interfering with the audiovisual works of other artists installed around the white cube. In reverse, the visual works of Derek Holguin and Nathaniel Eras were optically shielded within the white cube consisting of a double projection, an installation and a hologram. In this way, the white cube had a semi-permeable effect in both directions. 

Acoustically attracted, curiously entering visitors were thus offered both a variable change of scenery and a place to linger, to hear, to see and to interact with the medium of sound.In order to create the greatest possible visibility for the project, a media (production) partner was involved, who installed centrally controllable still cameras in various parts of the exhibition, each directed at the artworks, and who captured different scenes by means of a steady cam that moved permanently through the exhibition. With the opening of the exhibition, the visitors also became part of the scenario, which then went online as a livestream.

Further art-mediating aspects were offered by the interviews, also broadcast as a livestream, which Natalie Deseke fromHanover conducted with her colleagues in the project and in this way was able to gather background information on the works and interesting facts about the participants. In this context, a live connection with Haydeé Jiménez from nettnettradio was also established and streamed on a monitor into the exhibition.In the course of the evening, Marjam Oskoui and the German-American duo Eras/Deseke presented live performances that captivated the audience visually and, in the latter case, acoustically as well. Using VR glasses and controllers in her hands, Oskoui showed large-scale 3-D painting projected onto the exhibition wall, the visualization processes of which, looped to become a permanent exhibition contribution, later also served as the background to the audio-visual performance by the duo Eras/Desecke. 

Nathaniel Eras Lives and works in Berlin. Eras is a multidisciplinary artist, performer, composer and cultural catalyst who first established his career in Southern California. His current works focus on sound design for motion picture and futurist mysticism via performance art and ephemeral interactive art. The California born conceptual sound artist negates any notions of music genres, diving headfirst into deeper, esoteric soundscapes or incorporating elements by fusing emotive beauty with gritty industrial noises and field recordings. His complex interactive sound installation, developed in L.A..Nathaniel Eras processes different soundscapes of everyday life, which he has digitally reworked.

SIX STORIES/HOME 2024 PROJECT

Field Recordings and Sound Collage works for global initiative project and World Design Capitol.   

Whether we are designing a product, a production, a system, a service, a message, a tool, or an experience, we hold ourselves to key values throughout our design process.

HOME is an acronym that represents these values:

Human-Centered means we put people at the center of the design process, designing for the realities of user needs and desires.

Open means we are radically open to new ideas, experiences, ways of doing.

Multicultural + Multidisciplinary means we recognize that the best ideas come from diversity in perspectives, across domains of knowledge, generation, experience, and identity.

Experimental means we know that testing and trying things is what makes design exceptional. We are committed to experimentation across scales.

“HOME” IS A TRANSBORDER COLLABORATION BETWEEN SAN DIEGO AND TIJUANA THAT IS ADDRESSING OUR REGION’S MOST PRESSING ISSUES BY DESIGNING A MORE EQUITABLE FUTURE.

“Spider Queen X Metamorphocide”  

(the book of Vertexx)
Upon thee altar which she fed the masses for 4 cycles, she now gives herself up to provide the ultimate sacrifice.
“Upon this table, rip out our fangs to create spears and take our silk so that you may fashion a net to hold your catch. Peel and eat the fruits of our flesh so that we may be reborn in the image of our own choosing.
Thus, this is the dawn ov thee dark web across the sky, the melting of thee hall ov mirrors. For these truly are the last days.
Fear not, for the circled serpent and the flamed eagle will find you at the center of the gates, and at thee eleventh hour, a new era shall emerge.”
VII.XXX.MMXXI 1111
