Miranda Elliott
Miranda Elliott is a Seattle-based musician, multimedia artist, and creative technologist crafting ethereal electronic soundscapes and immersive audiovisual worlds. As Old Man of the Woods, a solo spectral synthpop project named after a spiky shroom, she alchemizes anguish into awe, weaving webs of intimate vocals, hypnotic harmonies, swirling synths, pulsing rhythms, and organic textures that “blur the line between the personal and natural world, conjuring a vivid, eerie soundscape as damp and rich as the woodland floor” (Various Small Flames).
Elliott’s practice is rooted in wide-eyed curiosity, steeped in romanticism and surrealism, and driven by a hunger for connection—with herself, the environment, and the listener. Moving fluidly between mediums, she conceives and creates every aspect of her work across songwriting, production, visual design, and video. She has toured the US and EU and released a genre-defying discography, from the dreampop delicacies of Votives (2021) to the darkwave devotionals of Tendrils (2025), recorded during a residency with Culterim Gallery at an abandoned sanatorium outside Berlin. Elliott now shares Cape Perpetua, a visual album pairing meditative vocal-loop incantations with nature projection portals, while shaping her forthcoming post-punk EP. Through it all, entwining memory and mirage, she creates spaces to muse and move.
