NELSDOT - DEMO.002 is available now via Bandcamp, YouTube, GoogleDrive, Soulseek, and Physical CD (all links in my bio/ at nels.zone).
After releasing Drone & Field Recording albums in 2025, it seemed time to make a return to ‘Droning Techno’, and this is the result of that work. Made entirely with a Lyra 8 & stock Ableton 12 devices, this album is a continuously evolving drone where the beats fade in and out, becoming a part of the drone itself.
There are currently 100 (with the possibility of making more) handmade & numbered CDs that I will be giving out at shows/parties/social functions, so please just come up to me and ask for one if you see me out and about!
1. As Soon As You Are Gone (08:03)
2. I Forget Your Face (7:59)
3. So Please Stay (7:24)
4. Don’t Fade Away (7:20)
All music, artwork, & CDs by me.
The best part about booking shows is that you can just stuff the entire bill full of talented friends 😇
I've been wanting to put together a Rock Music x Drone/Noise show for a while, and this lineup ended up in a perfect spot to represent both disciplines 💃🎛️‼️

Next up for NYAT: 20260313 we will be joining some of my favorite Minnesota electronic acts for an night of drone & ambient at the Ivy Building.
All proceeds of the show will be going to the @immigrantdefensenetwork

!Fargo Mentioned!
Next Thursday (20260129) I'll be heading north west to preform at the debut @r.and.g.theatre event! I have never played a solo set in Fargo, but it has always been a kind city to me so I am very excited ❤️
I wanted to try some new things in 2026, so for this one I'll be reading some original poetry over drones.
Endless shouts outs to Mabel for putting this together & having me up 🙏❤️
