The Healing Song - Freaks Amor - New Master

An Audio Post editor/ engineer and Production Sound Sound Mixer by trade, Nathan Van Hala started as a musician and songwriter at an early age. Primarily a keyboard/ piano player by craft, he now enjoys the process of mixing music as much as the writing and conception aspects.  Included here are selections from various bands/ projects wherein he is either a principle writer/ arranger for the selected track, or the primary mixer behind what you hear.

Nathan is primarily known for working with such artists as West Indian Girl, Saviour Machine, The Fur Traders, Eagle Winged Palace, Shadow Project, Strychnine Kiss, Second Culture, and many others over the years.  His newest project, "this or Any Other Planet" is currently in development.
