Nahuel has worked with a wide range of artists, from writing string arrangements and playing shows and engineering studio sessions with R&B legends Tony Toni Toné!, to engineering Fantastic Negrito’s Grammy-Winning “Please Don’t Be Dead”, and creating multi artist collaborations with Bay Area favorites on his own release entitled “The String Quartet Experience”. Nahuel is a multifaceted musician and producer/engineer that feels at home both on stage and in the studio.

Nahuel’s work focuses on the blending of acoustic instrumentation into pop and folk productions, making use of chamber type ensembles such as string quartets and horn sections as a complement to the work of solo artists and bands.

He is currently a Governor of the Recording Academy, San Francisco Chapter and a member of the Producers and Engineers Wing Committee, as well as a committee member for the AES SF Chapter.

“Whether I am writing string arrangements, diving deep into a full day of tracking at the studio, or focusing on a specific frequency band to solve a tonal problem on a song I am mixing, the focus of my work is always on the music. Things need to feel good, sound amazing and be compelling.” - Nahuel Bronzini.

Elihu Knowles - Pateka
Airship - Producer/Engineer

Elihu “Eli” Knowles is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer, and composer based in the Bay Area. He is widely recognized for his versatility as a musician, transitioning seamlessly between avant-garde jazz drumming, soulful falsetto vocals, synth soundscapes, and progressive art-rock songwriting.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Eli moved to California and was raised in Berkeley, growing up playing music in the East Bay alongside the musicians who would later form his current band. He attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Composition. His background as a trained jazz drummer strongly informs his rhythmically complex compositional style.

Eli currently serves as lead vocalist, keyboardist, and sampler for the Richmond-based art-rock and jazz-fusion quartet Pateka, alongside childhood friends Dylan Ransley, Quinn Girard, and Ryan Higley. Their sound is a chaotic yet calculated blend of odd time signatures, sudden improvisational jazz jams, and psychedelic indie-soul, with Eli’s performance noted for “flippantly slapping at keyboards” to inject sudden, precise riffs into their sets.

The band released their self-titled debut album in September 2025. Eli wrote the track “Night Stairs” after waking from a dream about finding instruments in a high school gymnasium.
