The Curse the Cross & the Lion is an adventurous, cinematic symphony by indie-rocker/film scorer turned composer, Nathan Felix. CCL explores 6 thematic movements that span over 28 minutes long and was performed by and written for full symphony orchestra.

From the dissonant opening crescendo of the self-titled 1st movement, to the brooding yet elegant 3rd movement of Broken Down the Walls, to the Western jangle of Don’t Give It Up, The Curse the Cross & the Lion, injects your soul with a genre-bending musical adventure that pays homage to some of the greats, but has a surprise around every stanza. The combination of melodic irresistibility and incisive epic textures are ever-present hallmarks of Felix’s raw untampered repertoire.

Erase the Title

A haunting journey through memory and desire set against the backdrop of Jackson Hole. Opening with hypnotic tempo blocks and delicate piano that evolve into a cinematic soundscape, this track blends country-western elements with electronic complexity. The alternating male and female vocals paint vivid images of a blue-eyed cowboy glimpsed in a moment of clarity amidst the bustle of a western boutique. As the refrain of "In Jackson's Hole, Kemosabe" builds, the track shifts dramatically into driving drum and bass with a prominent bassline that anchors the emotional intensity. A modern exploration of fleeting connection and lasting impression.

Perfect for fans of Studio Ghibli music, romantic piano, and cinematic piano compositions, this track blends minimalist phrasing with classical warmth—ideal for study, relaxation, or quiet reflection.

I miss the way we were

A piece I worked on together with my friend, Marshoyen. He wrote the first part of of the score, then was about to trash it, but I picked it up instead, so it turned into a collaboration I guess.
