About Miles (they/them):

​

For over ten years, Miles Wilder has been performing on stages big and small, in all kinds of venues, for all kinds of audiences. They have found themselves working with dancers, acrobats, actors, video-game designers, filmmakers, and of course other musicians. They have worked as a live performer, studio musician, voice actor, Foley artist, and have composed music and other high-quality audio for dance, circus, and film, as well as podcasts and other online media. They’ve spent countless hours in the studio and they’ve spent months on the road touring, playing in places like Denver, New York, and Boston; even appearing as a guest artist at Dartmouth College. 

 

Throughout their time as an artist, performer, and producer, Wilder has been first and foremost a collaborator. Wilder has produced multidisciplinary performance events that have highlighted and showcased other musicians, as well as a wide array of other artists from other disciplines. Their work with others has found them often acting as a mentor for their peers in the field, working to help those just entering the profession. Wilder delights in the successes of others. Their blend of curiosity, observation, and compassion make for powerful tools when helping people unlock the tangles that are holding them back from their potential. 

 

Wilder continues to expand their work in the field of audio production and music/sound creation while also deepening and formalizing their mentorship through their collaboration with Rachel Strickland and The Audacity Project (TAP). Together they are offering a blend of the high-quality content of TAP with their own unique perspective from within the music industry through The Audacity Project: Musicians, Composers, and Sound-Artists program.
