Kyle Vanderburg grew up in southeast Missouri where the Ozark foothills meet the Mississippi River valley. His electronic works often play with familiar sounds in new contexts (like duct tape that brings about the apocalypse or rockets powered by steam) and his acoustic works feature memorable melodies and a very fluid sense of time.

He lives in Fargo, where he's composer in residence at the Challey School of Music at North Dakota State University.
