* THURSDAY JUNE 22ND - MCNAY to PIANO CAVERN
Here is a song in which we premiered at the McNay Museum last week. The song is titled, Alone in Stockholm. I wrote this movement while on tour last year. The lyrics are listed in the YouTube video and the full explanation of the piece will be explained when my third symphony is released. We will perform this concert in the canyon on July 1st so you don't want to miss it.

* DECEMBER 16TH 2015 - ALBUM RELEASE
Due to the high volume of people asking where they can find the full version of the song used for the Minnesota Vikings video (see my blog post below), I've decided to officially release the song titled, Viking Rise, on Spotify and iTunes along with a collection of other song motifs that have been scored for film or used in commercials or PSA's. I titled the album Electrochestral, as the album is split with songs that are electro and others that are orchestral based. Find it on Spotify or iTunes under "Nathan Felix". And if you don't use either of those you can stream it on Sound Cloud by clicking HERE

MAY 26TH - OUTINSA INTERVIEW
Marco Aquino of Out In SA buzzed me while I was in Berlin last month and we had a great conversation about the past, present and classical music. He published a snippet of our convo to help promote our June 1st (6:30 pm) concert at McNay Art Museum

* MAY 21st - PAINTING IN PROGRESS
This Saturday I experienced something new in my music career. I held a rehearsal in a museum during their hours of operation. The patrons at the McNay were completely unaware this was going to happen and the directors at the McNay Museum expressed their interest in us rehearsing in this capacity in an effort to show our art in the process of it's creation. I could tell the choir felt the energy and importance of this process and what this particular concert means. I was happy they too experienced this and it reminded me of why I started this group that is now a family. It was to bring something fresh in our lives and the community and I'd say after 8 months we are right on track.

* WEDNESDAY MAY 17 - MY BIRTHDAY
I'm sure most of you won't forget that my birthday is right around the corner on May 25th! So leading up to my bday it's hectic but I'm loving it. I'm demo'ing my house and building on my new property and I have an amazing huge concert at McNay Museum. My first time to truly choreograph for my choir, From Those Who Follow the Echoes. This will be our follow up performance to Blue Star in which we won a Cammie award for (drum roll please) "Most Aurally Stimulating Exhibit". Below is one of the performances and us rehearsing with our new award...

* APRIL 10TH 2017 - PIANISSIMO
So here we are again. After an intense filled week of rehearsals and experimenting in search of the right tuning, the 6-piano concert was finally here. It brought me joy to see this special crowd in Barcelona closing their eyes and getting lost as the piano sounds from all corners enraptured them. I leave hoping everyone found something special from their viewpoint. My body as always gave everything in presenting a work and I'm burnt to a crisp but again filled with great emotion. It's time to relax but my mind is already thinking of new grand ideas. The photos below show the process from meeting with the conductor, to rehearsing, to promoting on the radio, to partaking alone at the dress rehearsal and alas the concert. Thank you Fabricarte and thank you to all that flew in from Texas and Europe to share this experience with me. Until next time...

* APRIL 2ND 2017 - BARCELONA
My first few days in Barcelona have been great. For the most part I have been adjusting to the time change and hanging with my friend Alfonso. Alfonso is my friend whom I met while on tour in China. We toured together for a month with our bands playing in China and Mongolia and it is he that invited me to premiere my 6-Piano concert in Europe. If you have followed my blog, you may have figured out that I actually don't enjoy traveling without a purpose. A day on the beach and then I'm bored. Of course I'm traveling almost 3-4 months out of the year and I cherish every moment I'm abroad, as I know I'm fortunate. But for the most part I want to grind away on new projects or see the every day life of my friends, and this is a perfect insight full of meeting and connecting with artists.

* MARCH 26TH 2017 - BARCELONA BOUND
I'm off to Barcelona this week to start rehearsals for a performance of my music for 6 pianos (scroll down to see videos). It's been an insane month with a choral performance and with SXSW and now I've been hired for a short film and to do sound design on a commercial. So needless to say I haven't had time to breathe or really post much. But I'm workin' my tail off to knock everything out so when I get on the plane I can have a glass of scotch and shift my focus to pianos. If you are in Barcelona or have friends in Barcelona please share this INVITE with them. Oh and Go Zags! Been waiting 20 years for this one.
