Wing Vilma

Artist Biography

Bandcamp • Spotify • Soundcloud • Instagram • Twitter • Facebook

Wing Vilma's trademark sound stems from her feverish curiosity and a cultivated, intentional connection with the natural world that empowers her to find musical ideas in places others may not. Sourcing fresh sonic ingredients from the world around her and blending experimental field recordings with her one-of-a-kind synth-craft to design robust and dynamic soundscapes that explore the rudimentary elements of rhythm, frequency and tone.

Wing Vilma is a name Milly Coleman has been using since 2017, and has become a maior part of her persona since its inception. First captured on the 2018 album Safe By Night, the Michigan-born artist creates music by harvesting found sound from the landscapes of both her home state of Michigan and her current residence in Oregon, crafting textures and tones into percussive sequences along with melodic textures.
