Winter 2025 Update 

Spring is actually right around the corner, but this is technically a winter post until that spring equinox comes around. ;-)

All of the solo piano recordings from last year have been sifted through and several tracks have been recorded with cello and violin in a semi ambient chamber style fashion. The result has become the sequel to an older album of mine titled A Day of Poetry. This new album will be called A Night of Poetry, and the release date is planned for the first week of September 2025. A Night of

Fall 2024 Update and new music inquiries 

The studio is set up, functioning, and with a few minor exceptions…completed….for now. I have even connected plumbing for a bathroom now. Thank God! 

I have been recording solo piano sessions through the summer and have began editing and composing final instrumentations for a new album this fall. The piano recordings are rich in acoustic tone and depth. I have been long considering the options of releasing solo piano verses an ambient chamber version of the compositions. Subtle textures of cello and violin…

Relocation and new studio update - summer 2024 

 

In the early Spring this year (2024), I began relocating my family and studio to a new residence in Stuart, Virginia about an hour north of our previous residence in North Carolina. It is a beautiful, rural, and peaceful environment just on the cusp of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

Over that time I had several steps for moving and transitioning the music studio to its new home. I am pleased to share that the new studio is up and running since the beginning of summer. Thank God, because the hvac really needed…

Nathan Speir quick stream through 2020 into 2021 

There have been years in my life I considered dynamic before 2020. However, I believe that all those past years prepared me for the 2020 into 2021 period. 

At the begging of 2020 I was closing in on my first 12 months working as a service electrician for a reputable electrical contractor. I had left a comfortable position as a maintenance electrician for a local community college for...more money. Little did I know that as I was expecting my fifth child in April 2020 I would get laid off "due to the…

Nathan's Album Notes - Finding A Way To Be 

Finding A Way To Be is my sixth solo piano album and thirteenth full length solo artist album. I made the music available early on my own website, but the digital distribution date is scheduled for June 21. (I had to change it once because I had not considered the slower turn around rates going on in the covid-19 pandemic). 

The last solo piano album I made was Quiet Wonder, which I wrote song maps for, performed and recorded all in one night (song were re-recorded later over some time but initial…

Autumn 2019 

Into the Fall season of 2019, I have been working out new music to fulfill an album concept that I created earlier this summer. The music is developing nicely. In this process, I have already decided on an album theme, and even song titles! The music concepts have already been simmering in my creative sub-consciousness for some time, and I am trying to keep momentum on excavating them into the new year. My life, like many of us, has many potential distractions and temptations that can really slow down our…

Deeper Notes Behind Searching for Nepsis  

May 26, 2019 

I am very pleased to share some more personal information about the music in "Searching for Nepsis" today. I am going to talk about the concepts, music, and recording behind the whole theme of "Searching for Nepsis" - the title track of this album. 

In the early fall of 2018, I was video recording some nature around the woods in my backyard and I had some longer form composition ideas come to mind that may or may not go well with that footage. It was in this context that the 20'20" recording…
