Modern Marimba + high-definition, ambisonic, computer-generated sounds. www.nathanielbartlett.com Nathaniel Bartlett – Biography (2-2-06) Nathaniel Bartlett was born in 1978 in Madison, Wisconsin. He attended the Eastman School of Music, during which time he also studied marimba with Leigh Howard Stevens. After graduating from Eastman, Nathaniel attended the Royal Academy of Music (London) earning a Postgraduate Diploma in Marimba Performance. As an integral part of being dedicated to an instrument of our time (the modern marimba), he is also dedicated to the music of our time – constantly seeking out composers to collaborate with in the creation of new repertoire for the instrument. Recent collaboration projects include new music from Allan Schindler (Precipice), Augusta Read Thomas (Silhouettes), Greg Wilder (Interlude), and Jon Forshee (Verse From the Aethersphere). In particular, Nathaniel is interested in the integration of computers in live performance and has commissioned several works involving ambisonic (or “surround sound”) super high-definition computer-generated soundscapes. In October 2005, Nathaniel finished the recording for his debut solo marimba album. The repertoire consists entirely of recent music by living American composers, featuring three world premiere recordings. The disc, a hybrid multi-channel super audio compact disc, will be released by Albany Records in mid 2006. In addition to performing, Nathaniel also teaches – giving masterclasses and lectures on marimba and computer music at colleges and universities around the country. Nathaniel currently lives in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.
