Railgun: Biography
Railgun was formed by Nathan Moody in 1997. As a professional illustrator, designer, multimedia veteran and published author, his interests and skills extend well beyond music into other creative disciplines, including print design, animation, motion design, and photography. Railgun allows him to explore the relationship between imagery and sound, to create a unified vision of visual art and music.
To date, Railgun has officially released one EP (ΔV) on Gun Music, shipped several DJ-only demos, produced many remixes, and has even produced sound design and music for such companies as Avery Dennison, The North Face, TechTV/G4, and Macrovision.
Railgun's premiere industrial-metal video, "Indentity Crisis," was picked up by Atom Films in 1998, and has been shown on SciFi.com and BBC Channel 4. It would be shown on this Web site if it weren't so, well, old. More multimedia projects are planned in the future.
The mind's eye is Railgun's target, the imagination its firing range.
Nathan Moody's visual activities are conducted as Atomick Industries. He can be contacted at railgun-at-atomick-dot-net.
