artist · 2026-09-13

Logan Walden, a California-based artist and musician, is the mastermind behind Cat Soup, a creative venture that combines electronic music with 3D animation, CGI, graphic design, and various merchandise. At the heart of this project is Nanophage, a vivid and strange fictional universe marked by body horror, where synthetic beings, technology, mutations, and internet surrealism collide. Walden merges music and visual art, creating a cohesive ecosystem that includes albums, singles, music videos, tour visuals, merchandise, and digital characters. This ecosystem has been described as a twisted children's TV channel, a biotech advertisement, and a nightmare from a retro video game, showcasing a seamless integration of sound, visuals, design, and storytelling.
