Nathaniel Eras (b. 1979, Fresno, California) is an American multidisciplinary artist, cultural producer and composer of mixed latino and indigenous heritage whose career reflects a sustained engagement with music, culture, and art practices. Born and raised in Fresno, California’s Central Valley.
After spending his formative years in the early 2000’s immersed in San Francisco’s music scene and touring nationally with Mush Records Label group Octavius, he relocated to Los Angeles, where he spent years working at Seahorse Studios, EMI Capitol Records, Universal Music and as an independent cultural producer, solo artist, musician and sound designer. In more recent years, his practice expanded internationally through residencies in Germany and Mexico, where he further developed his work and artistic practice.
With a zeal for ambient noise, minimalism, and dizzying sense of rhythmic prowess - His latest work 'Omniaglyph 0-2' is a sonic triptych that wields power with restraint reminiscent of the adventurous post-human atmospheres and cinematic pacing. 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 0-2' is a solitary effort, there are collaborative experiments with live instrumentation featuring saxophone (Scott Page of Pink Floyd) and others.
His body of work includes music scores for films “Drunk Bus” and “How I Learned To Fly”. Other sound design work includes IFC’s Speak No Evil, A24’s Midsommar, Ford Motors Raptor “Scary Fast” ad campaign and more. Eras’ contemporary sculpture and interactive works and collaborations include “California Dreams, Behold A White Horse“ a multi-media interactive sound 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/Antiguo Cine Bujazan, Sculpture Ephemera paired with Performance art/Ritual art “Spider Queen X Metamorphocide” + “Reflections Refractions and Vital Interference” in collaboration w Jeanelle Mastema aka IOVXTC, and Derek Holguin at Vertexx.io Los Angeles CA. 2021, and “Never Dies The Dream” a collaboration and interactive sculpture / sound installation with Albert Reyes at Mastodon Mesa, Pacific Design Center Los Angeles CA 2010.
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. Eras presses forward spearheading a new project “Apocateca”, is a hybrid arthouse label and diverse autonomous collective of several interdisciplinary artists and designers working in interactive mixed media projects and cultural events.
