Artist History Will and Nate Ritter made their first original recordings in the early 90s when Will was an Astronomy major at the University of Pennsylvania and Nate was in pre-med at MIT. Will spent the 90s working in the Ukraine and on the professional tennis circuit, while Nate was in medical school. Their catchy originals kept piling up, and the 12-cut White Noise CD was finished in May 1999.
