Nev Wendell (she/they) is a Los Angeles based composer and instrumentalist whose work incorporates drone, digital processing of acoustic sound, field recording, improvisation, and just intonation and microtonality. She is interested in creating a sense of place through sound, the construction of identity through perception rather than authorship, the abstraction of sound from source, and the distortion of time through sound.

As a performer, Wendell has worked across a range of genres, with a primary focus on contemporary chamber music and improvisation. She has performed with ECHOI of Monday Evening Concerts, Wild Up, Diapason, the Colburn Orchestra, Peninsula Symphony, Liminal Voices Orchestra, and various project-specific ensembles across Los Angeles. She has premiered and recorded work by Sarah Davachi, George Lewis, Sarah Hennies, Trevor Treglia, and others.
