Taking Notes

♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸❤¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪
✿La musique est une loi morale,
elle donne une âme à nos cœurs,
des ailes à la pensée,
un essor à l'imagination.
Elle est un charme à la tristesse,
à la gaieté, à la vie, à toute chose.
Elle est l'essence du temps
et s'élève à tout ce qui est de forme invisible,
mais cependant éblouissant et passionnément éternelle….✿
PLATON

A very warm welcome. Thank you for listening. So many great composers and songwriters inspire me including the work and encouragement of the contributors here on SoundCloud.

I'm a British-American Electronic musician by the name of Nathan who currently lives in the Pacific NW. ... Sometimes I take extended Social Media breaks for my sanity. Lol! 😅 ... So if I ever miss responding to a comment or returning a follow, it's only because it's hard catching up when I've been gone a month.

I play vintage synths which I've had for decades(because new ones are expensive. Lol!), but in the last couple of years I've been working much more with DAWs (which is awesome because my fingers don't work as well as they used to), with the occasional flourish from my aging synths.

I'm influenced by all varieties of electronic and electronic-adjacent music from 1960s/70s - 2020s, not to mention a bit of Prog and Metal, and Jazz Fusion. 

My focus tends to be on Trance, Ambient, Synthwave, EDM, Synthpop, EBM, Industrial, Darkwave, Futurepop, and the occasional hint of Jazz Fusion. (Sometimes all in the same track).

That's what happens when you're hooked by the Doctor Who Theme at a young age. ;-)  

I'm not always entirely sure which subgenres many my tracks are closest to, So I try to pick the broadest and most dominant one for the main tag. The first row of tags are the other ones I reckon they're closest to, and the rest are an assortment of other related tags, some closer than others.

This is my channel for the beautiful music of my friends from the Soundcloud community

My sounds were born because I was tired of (not) listening to what the media were offering, since the mid-90s, without paying any attention to the quality of the music.
I don't define myself as a musician, but a sound craftsman who, thanks to new technologies, enjoys experimenting with notes and sounds, and through SoundCloud I put myself to the test.
I thank all those who listen to me, but especially those who follow me.
