Solo piano improvisation performed in private studio on 10-23-2016.
The entire improvisation was approached with the intent to record a possibly special hour of music channeled in the moment. I found it special enough to save and share. I ended up dividing the final CD master into 3 parts with zero pause between tracks to preserve continuity of the performance.
I performed the entire piece nonstop on a Roland RD800 and simultaneously ran a midi signal through Ivory II Pianos hosted in Cubase 8.5 pro. I then mixed a stereo audio file for mastering and made final polishes in Wavelab. I only regret no one was around with a video camera.

Nathan Speir, multi instrumentalist, composer and recording artist, is pleased to announce his new release of ambient chamber music, “Searching for Nepsis”. “Searching for Nepsis” is available on most online music distributors and streaming services world wide on February 1st 2019.
“Searching for Nepsis” is an acoustic electric album of ambient chamber music filled with cellos, violin, piano, singing bowls, electric bass, acoustic guitar, some synthesizers, a duduk, and cajon. Nathan Speir takes another step forward as a recording artist performing and overdubbing instruments to paint a deep and moving statement about the heart’s gravitation to find a transcending sobriety of consciousness in the midst of life’s transient shadows. The new album features the single “Forest Lights”, released September 2018. The title track, “Searching for Nepsis”, is truly the full quintessence of the album, and, with an intentional 20 minutes and 20 seconds track length, “Searching for Nepsis” serves as a meditation on the approach of a new decade in the future year 2020.

“Searching for Nepsis” is on Nathan Speir’s label Neptic Music, also known for productions of ancient Byzantine chant from the Greek Orthodox Church. Born in Riverside, California, and drawing from a long residence on Florida’s Space Coast, Nathan Speir currently resides in Winston Salem, NC where he is raising a family, producing music, and also serving his community as a licensed electrician.

As The Sun Set

An independent American artist, Nathan Speir is a pianist and composer who began learning his piano instrument and craft at the age of eight years. Nathan completed his first fully written composition at age twelve and later received a bachelors degree in music theory and composition in 2004 from Palm Beach Atlantic University. He is currently a BMI artist, and has published music with Music of The Sea Publishing. Nathan Speir began running his own record label, Neptic Music (LLC), in 2016.

Nathan's most recent production is The Emotive Leaf, a two disc, ambient chamber and solo piano album. This album was successfully crowd funded via Kickstarter and released early 2015. Warmth In Winter and Ambient Piano Christmas Vol. 2 released at the end of 2015.

Nathan Speir's first release was an electronic instrumental album Between Earth & Sky in 2006, which featured a piano centered style with synthesizers and Native American flute.

A few years later, after starting a family in 2010, Nathan visited his former university in West Palm Beach, FL where he recorded his second album Nathan's Piano - a purely solo piano recording. It encompassed a collection of piano compositions from a 15 year span.

In 2012, Nathan produced three more albums. In early 2012 he finished another primarily electronic instrumental featuring piano throughout, Brighter Days, which was in light of relocating from Florida to North Carolina, having a second child, and a desire to be experimenting with a greater variety of instrumental textures. The result was a sonic metaphoria.

In the fall of 2012, Nathan continued to refine his depth of emotional expression, production quality, and compositional process when he released A Day of Poetry. Returning to mostly solo piano with rich virtual string accompaniment, A Day of Poetry became a milestone in Nathan Speir's development of ambient piano and chamber music.


At the cusp of 2012, Ambient Piano Christmas: Volume 1, Ambient piano Christmas album coverwas recorded and released. It synergistically grafted traditional Christmas carols with Nathan's purely solo ambient piano performances.

Nathan has drawn his original style or inspiration from his influence from the late and modern classical and jazz composers as well as many of the new age and ambient artists.

Originally from Southern California and raised in Florida, the artist currently resides in Winston-Salem, North Carolina where he continues to refine and explore his creative potential.
