Wulf Downard, drawing on the influences of many great musicians and styles, creates an harmonic haystack of different sounds and textures in which the softness of the bedding can sometimes belie the presence of the pins and needles beneath. Brandishing the benefit of the recording and performing experience he gained with The Lazarus Effect and others, Wulf has come out of the darkness of his decade of distance to burst forth with new life...
Born and raised in the frosty, corn-rich northern Midwest, trained and tested in the wilds of Hollywood and elsewhere, matured in the Pacific Northwest like evergreen woods and wines, and now finding a new resolve in the Sunshine State-- Wulf is back, blaring bellicose, big-boned beats and beguilingly beatific and bardic balladeering.
Wulf uses: Epiphone, Ibanez, Fender, Gretsch, and Oscar Schmidt guitars, mandolins, and basses; Peavey, Behringer, and Acoustic amplification; effects by Boss, Roland, Danelectro, Digitech, Morley, Zoom, and Rocktron; Shure and AKG microphones; an old, road weary Yamaha keyboard; Shearwater, Becker, Tilbury, Oak, Acorn, Waltons, Generation, Feadóg, Dixon, and Wulf's own self-made penny whistles; Hohner and Fender harmonicas; ocarinas, pots/pans, toys, various percussion, silverware, barbaric yawps, countertops, the kitchen sink, and anything else at hand that makes a tempting trifle of tone.
Wulf does voice acting for Animate Amigurumi's YouTube show, 'Ula In Stages," at
Wulf also does custom luthiery, altering, building, and rewiring guitars and basses... as well as building his own penny whistles and other aerophones.
One of Wulf's greatest desires is to to score film and television, providing the mesmerizing movements to give a story melodic and dramatic momentum.
