bio
Recently transplanted from Toronto back to his Montreal birthplace, Neil
Wiernik is a media artist turned electronic music composer who began
creating electronic music in 1988. Wiernik is known to push the
boundaries of his musical form - from designing new or manipulating
existing sound making devices and software to creative uses of production
environments and sound sources. Though his composition and
production styles are diverse, he keeps a central focus throughout all his
production: experimentation.
Neil has a long history of both group and solo electronic music projects
including work with The Crystal Methodists and Phcus before settling into
his current projects: under his own name and under the alias of naw
In terms of solo work, Neil has released music under his given name and
under the naw pseudonym on various national and international record
labels.
Under the both his own name and the naw moniker Neil has performed
extensively in Canada and elsewhere alongside a variety of local and
international artists including Sutekh, Kit Clayton, Stewart Walker, Unit,
Phoenecia, Jake Mandell, Tikiman with Scion, Monolake, Rechnezentrum,
Apparat, Kero, Todd Sines, Deadbeat, Algorithm, Tomas Jirku, Mitchell
Akiyama, Christof Migone, Pita, Marcus Smeckler, Vitamins for you,
Tim Hecker, Polmo Polpo, David Kristian, I8U, Andrew Duke and
Martin Ttrault just to name a few. Neil continues to hold down a busy live
and recording schedule. Keep an eye out for more studio material from this
artist in the coming year - including a follow up CD release on Toronto's
Noise Factory label - and live dates in a town close to yours.
