Deaf Sonic Agency
Nate Hergert (DJ Deaf Wish) is a Deaf advocate, researcher, organizer, and electronic musician based in Portland, Oregon. His work transforms acoustic sound into visceral, multi-sensory experiences through sub-bass tactile haptics, synchronized visual telemetry, and modular electronic performance.
Music is not merely auditory—it is kinetic, spatial, and tactile. By pairing modular synthesis, sub-bass resonance, and live sound-reactive projection rigs, DJ Deaf Wish redefines live club culture for Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences worldwide.
