Over Earth Under Stars is fusion of ambient chamber, acoustic ambient, and progressive ambient music recorded from 2022-2023 by Nathan Speir in Winston Salem, NC and mastered by Robert Rich in Carmel, CA in 2023. This album has a pastoral air to it that may lead you to spend some time outdoors and or replay again for another listening lap through this pleasant park of 12 pieces of music.
This album is the next development of music along the lines of previous releases by Nathan, including Part of a Kindly Plan, Searching for Nepsis, and Smiles from a Melancholy Man.
Over Earth Under Stars most dominant instruments are piano and acoustic guitar followed by electric bass guitar. Surrounding those instruments include synthesizers, frame drums, electric pad drums, Native American flute, strings, cello, and gamelan textures scattered throughout the album.
Two songs of the featured titles are adaptations of previous compositions and recordings which come from the 2006 album "Between Earth & Sky" by Nathan Speir. Those two songs are "Earth Flight" and "Become As Incense"; they were originally created as "Between Earth & Sky" and "Rising Incense of Peace". Both adaptations are reworks, re-invented versions that take on a whole new character while including several motives from the original.

Pilgrim was originally a hour long thru-composed soundtrack for a new Nintendo video game made for the Nintendo Switch called "Synaxarion: Acts Part 1" which you can check out on Nintendo's website here. The music made its way into menu or map music on the game. First time my music has been requested to be featured in a video game.
Nonetheless, I felt that this piece in its entire was a worthy offering for you to consider for your own background music, meditations, and thoughtful moments. So with a little extra editing and mastering, Pilgrim, came to be.
I do have a duduk and oud at home that I enjoy playing. However, in this release you will be hearing my keyboard skills combining with stellar digital instrument samples performing every instrument track by track to create this soundtrack.
Thank you for listening. Peace be with you.

Re Between Earth & Sky is a remastered version of the original audio recorded in 2004 and released in 2006 as Between Earth & Sky. The remastering work was done by Nathan Speir with care. Things like clipping and clicks were the main edits. Small changes in dynamics and reverb tails also happened on this new release. Nathan felt that a remastered version of this debut album was due so it could have a better chance of exposure than it ever did before.
