In this episode, I am talking Nathan Siler performer and composer who lives and works in NYC. In addition to being the chief architect of the NYC post-punk-prog band Portraiture, he is a classical singer who frequently sings at Carnegie Hall with the Bard Festival Chorale and at Lincoln Center with NY Concert Chorale. Recently he was imprisoned (on stage) in the World Premiere of David Lang’s new Opera “The Prisoner of the State” at Lincoln Center. He also keeps a packed schedule of composition and orchestration projects. Siler's notable works include Original score to the devised theater piece Rise/Fall by Sheila B., Featured Orchestration for BAM (Jules Verne: From the Earth to the Moon); Original podcast theme song (Reverence Road); Film scores (The Widowers; We Are Mary); Full orchestral suite for Grammy© award-winning children's rock band Sugar-Free Allstars (performed by Winston-Salem Philharmonic and Oklahoma City Philharmonic). He produces albums across multiple genres, most recently: “Blaze: Songs from Pham” by Margaret Tran and the new debut EP by singer-songwriter Jason Drew. Nathan has a lot to share in this episode and we talk a lot about how creativity has been a part of our recovery. Nathan is also a new parent and we got the opportunity to talk about how that changed him, and how his understanding of distance has been challenged since the birth of his child. www.portraiturenyc.com www.nathansiler.com You can find Portraiture's albums 'Cruel Yellow' and 'Real as Ritual' below Spotify Cruel Yellow: https://open.spotify.com/album/76TJvARXdrSjHKK0kSCFz0 Real as Ritual: https://open.spotify.com/album/4Zu06MJ0HQ7GhTl3LklF70 Apple Music Cruel Yellow: https://music.apple.com/us/album/cruel-yellow/1269611700 Real as Ritual: https://music.apple.com/gb/album/real-as-ritual/573938725 With episodes like this one, I am extremely grateful.
