Nate Wooley grew up in Clatskanie, Oregon. Since moving to New York in 2001, he's become part of a movement to redefine the trumpet's technique and role through his improvisational work with Paul Lytton, Joe Morris, Anthony Braxton, and others and his compositions like the "105" trumpet drone piece, "The Almond" and his Syllables series of solo works based on the physical positioning of phoneme production.

"Losing" is an excerpt from a live performance on trumpet and amplifier in Brooklyn, recorded in 2012 by Jeremiah Cymerman. It is dedicated to the memory of Laurie Frink.
