Erling Wold

Erling Wold is a San Francisco-based avant-garde composer whose work blurs the lines between opera, theater, and experimental music. Known for his hauntingly intimate vocal writing and genre-defying collaborations, he’s crafted operatic adaptations of unconventional sources like William S. Burroughs’ *Queer* and surrealist photographer Germaine Dulac’s *A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil*. His recent releases—from the raw, industrial-tinged *Rattensturm* to the liturgical echoes of *Missa Beati Notkeri*—showcase his knack for merging sacred textures with modern dissonance. A fixture in experimental circles since the 1990s, Wold’s music often feels like a fever dream where minimalist repetition collides with post-punk grit, earning him cult status among fans of boundary-pushing contemporary classical.
