Vampire Rodents is a Sound Collage and Experimental Music project founded in 1989 based out of Phoenix, Arizona, although its core members originally came from Canada. The creative nucleus of the project was comprised of vocalist and composer Daniel Vahnke and keyboardist Victor Wulf, adding violinist Andrea Akastia in 1992. In 1993 Akastia and Wulf ceased to make direct contributions to Vampire Rodents and it became Vahnke’s solo project.
