Nathan Alexander Pape is a listener, musician, mathematician, and educator based in Brooklyn, NY.

Instead of simply defying the constraints of the guitar to proclaim the finding of a new music, Nathan uses the limitations and traditions of the instrument as viable sources for inspiration and creation. 

In addition to Nathan's solo work which focuses on the sonic expansion of the steel-string acoustic guitar through improvisation, he has a regularly performing duo with percussionist John O'Brien and is currently collaborating with James Belflower to develop flexible structures that allow for musical interaction with James' performative poetry.

You may also hear him performing finger-style guitar in the vein of John Fahey and other American Primitive Guitar practitioners, simply because he loves that music and it makes people happy.
