Nostalgianoid is Asheville native Mike Holmes (he/him), a man of many coats who has established himself as an unpredictable artist with his emphasis on keeping every live set fresh and new. He’s been involved with a myriad of music scenes in this town since finishing college in 2014, whether it be producing for other artists, photographing shows, or playing in various bands of different genres. Now, he focuses on pushing his own craft and sound while also being a member of the local skateboard community aiding in the upkeep of our local DIY skatepark.
Artist statement:
My music is an endless search of how different emotions can be articulated through sound collaging. I attempt this by doing heavy studies on repetition and how trance-like states can be achieved through looping any sound, whether it be musical, mechanical, or natural. Through heavy glitching, I make some of these loops fleeting, and manipulate them to give birth to new loops as a way to bring new emotion to the table spontaneously.
