Nathan Shubert

Drawing on influences from Nils Frahm, Erik Satie, and Steve Reich, Vancouver-based pianist/composer Nathan Shubert’s engaged and empathic take on contemporary classical blends a muted physicality with an exceptional ear for beauty. Shubert’s new collection of intimate works is as much about the atmosphere of a room and the mechanics of the piano—tiny pedal thuds, the clack of the hammers—as they are about harmonic inventiveness and intelligent dynamism. At once deeply personal and highly relatable, Nathan Shubert’s new instrumental works are understated, quietly propulsive, and uncommonly poetic. Debut single and video out now, released in celebration of Piano Day 2016
