[Post-foetus] is 20-year-old Californian, Will Wiesenfeld.

Will was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley just outside Los Angeles. Classically trained, he began studying piano at age 4 in an effort to compete with his brother. He completely abandoned it after 8 years, but then slowly began to rediscover the potential music. He began to seek new explorations and adventurous alternatives to what he had been used to musically all his life. The music of Björk was an invaluable influence that redirected his efforts into composition. He learned how to use sequencer software to record his ideas, and also developed other musical skills in an effort to better his songwriting, including vocals, guitars, viola, upright and electric bass, rhythm / beat construction, production aesthetics, and whatever else...

His lyrics developed along the same lines as his musicality; initially they all concerned a yearning for something completely different and new, but grew to include a wide variety of emotional subject matter.

He considers performing and recording to be very different but equally valid means of expression, and labors at both with the same amount of love. Nearly 6 years have passed since his first recording, and he already has 4 full-length albums, 3 EPs, and hours of unreleased material in his portfolio. He still has an unquenchable thirst for experimentation in recording and performance, and hopes to find new ways to evoke genuine, emotional substance, however alien or steeped in fantasy his material may find itself.

[Post-foetus]'s debut album, The Fabric, presents Will’s multi-instrument compositional ingenuity in its gorgeous splendor. It will be available at your nearest records store in spring 2010. Joyfully brought to you, by yours truely, mü-nest.
