Quiet Wonder

by Nathan Speir

supported by

slowmo thumbnail
slowmo Gentle, thoughtful solo piano pieces that work well as ambient atmospheres, but also reward closer listening. Some have a melancholy which I find very appealing, while with others there is a spacious quality, an openness. Favorite track: Searching For A Sanctuary.

about

+ Quiet Wonder is Nathan Speir’s 11th solo artist full album release.

+ Out of those 11 albums, this is the fifth solo piano album released to date.

+ Past solo piano albums are as follows: Nathan’s Piano (2010), Ambient Piano Christmas Vol 1 (2012), Ambient Piano Christmas Vol 2 (2015), Improv 16 (2016)

+ Nathan Speir recorded his baby grand piano in his basement studio using multiple recording techniques.

+ Nathan purposefully experimented with natural timbre changes in his piano to add subtle changes and variety in piano tone and character. This resulted in additional instrument sounds in the recording such as quiet nocks, squeaks, and other lovely mechanical nuances.

+ Nathan’s composition style is not entirely “thru-composed”. At times, a map of chords or other tone clusters are premeditated and worked out. Final recordings do often capture unrehearsed ornaments and nuggets of musical character.
