Wavewulf, the electronic project of New York-based artist and producer Nicholas Long, blends analog craftsmanship and a forward-thinking electronic approach. A lifelong synthesizer player, the musician developed his musical foundation early through his father’s record collection and his own growing fascination with sound. What began as middle school improvisations on beginner keyboards gradually evolved into a disciplined, intentional body of work rooted in electronic history, analog instrumentation, and a deeply personal relationship with music.
After years of refining his skills in college bands, experimenting with hardware-based composition, and working professionally in design, social work, and library science, he formally launched Wavewulf in 2017. The project emerged after the death of his mother, whose passing enabled him to invest in the equipment that would shape his debut album, “Oscillation” (2019). From there, Wavewulf defined a clear artistic direction, merging vintage and modern synthesizers to craft emotionally grounded electronic music with thematic intent.
Across five full-length albums, including “Green Decay,” “Space Art and Angels,” and the critically supported “The North and the Sea,” Wavewulf has built a catalog shaped by atmosphere, narrative, and collaboration. His music draws from a wide range of influences, including Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream, as well as contemporary electronic artists such as Röyksopp and Ulrich Schnauss. Long’s partnership with vocalist and co-writer Nala Spark, along with recurring collaborations with Christopher John Donato and musicians worldwide, has become essential to the project’s evolving sound.
His latest album, “Unbreakable Soul,” broadens that collaborative energy and explores themes of resilience, emotional depth, and internal transformation. Across its songs, he seamlessly blends analog textures with melodic vocal performances and deliberate emotional expression, reaffirming his identity as an artist who channels electronic music to explore and reflect on the human experience in an ever-evolving world.

Beyond its sonic identity, his work is shaped by personal experience, intellectual curiosity, and a need to process loss, change, and the complexities of contemporary life. His music engages with political, environmental, and philosophical ideas while remaining grounded in a genuine interest in exploring what it means to be human. As his sound continues to evolve, Wavewulf builds upon the same foundation that first inspired the project by expressing emotion, memory, and imagination through his music.
