Boston US   Feb 2017


Artist Bio

Influences:   R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guster, Paul Winter, Incubus, Dave Matthews Band, Harry Nillsson, The Beatles, Keith Jarrett, Astrud Gilberto, Led Zeppelin, Rory Galagher, Radiohead, The Strokes

The universe blessed me with a new living situation where I can be as loud and weird as possible without disturbing people. I feel blessed to use this space to create beautiful (or not?) music!

FAWM is such a wonderful time to play around with my edges and let the silliness come out in my music. By allowing myself to play, I find that my intellectual approaches to music making fall away and some truly interesting stuff emerges.

I'm stoked to record a REAL drum set and incorporate that into my songs. This new place also has some instruments hanging around that I'm sure will make a guest appearance.

My intention for this FAWM is to be gentle with myself. To trust divine inspiration expressing through me. To connect with other musicians and collaborate more. And to have fun. FUN is the key. If I'm not having fun with music than it's a sign that it's time to take a break and go on a walk or something.

I'm thrilled to be here and that you are too. Let's have a great FAWM 2022 :)

    Happy Fawm. Have a good year creating

  • @unpronounceable  Feb 2022

    Ahhh you so get it. Also, HOLY Triple FAWM over here!

  • @nadine Feb 2022

    Thanks a lot! You inspired me. I still think you're a far better singer than me xD
    Man, are you trying triple FAWM goal this year? I'll listen to your stuff later. Still busy with my finish line collabs.

  • @nadine Feb 2022

    My morph version is online. Oufz thus was hard! I never worked with these chords bit I modified them a bit. I'll take a listen into your version next week cause I wanna listen to the full chain.

  • @nadine Feb 2022

    Thank you! I'll listen to the morph tomorrow and start. Can you please mail me your chord progression?

  • @tootoobee  Feb 2022

    Hi @nateger , did you forget about the Morph? Or are you still on it? We're in the last week and some FAWMers are still waiting to morph :)

  • @debs  Feb 2022

    Hi Nate! Just wanted to check in, are you still planning on morphing? If not, we can pass it along to the next person. :)

  • @analogj Feb 2022

    Thanks so much, Nate. Glad you liked the polysemic wordplay.

  • @feb21sundari Feb 2022

    Thank you so much Nate for your comment and recommandation.

  • @jessespillane  Feb 2022

    Hi. Thanks for your nice comment. :)

  • @pfoo  Feb 2022

    Hi - I posted my 10 seconds for the weirdo corpse here: https://files.fawmers.org/FAWM_2022/pfoo/pfoo_weirdoCorpse_Straggliest_10sec.mp3

  • @mario339 Feb 2022

    Thank you for the welcome!

  • @debs  Feb 2022

    Hi Nate! Seed song is ready for you to morph! If you need the chords, let us know. :) https://fawm.org/songs/128408/

  • @dragondreams  Feb 2022

    You did good! The vocals really added to Corpse Delta in a good way. :-)

  • @instrumentalcorpse Feb 2022

    https://fawm.org/songs/129929/ We're live! Instrumental Corpse Delta.

  • @nadine Feb 2022

    Oh really you listened to Mute Math? They are not popular here, I found them in an online radio and it's been the first CD I imported from the US. Pricey as hell but I love it. The drumming is insane and taught me a lot about rhythms. Thanks also for the song comment!

  • @lyricslinger  Feb 2022

    Hi Nate,
    Thanks for your kind comments on my I Hate My Commute lyrics. Really good to hear that you enjoyed them!
    Simon

  • @tuesdaygray Feb 2022

    Thank you so much for the kind words and recommendation! I really appreciate it!

  • @headfirstonly  Feb 2022

    Not a problem.

  • @headfirstonly  Feb 2022

    Are you sure the clip you sent me was for the instrumental corpse? I was rather surprised to discover it's got singing in it...

  • @jeustan  Feb 2022

    My pleasure. Shine on, dood.

  • @headfirstonly  Feb 2022

    Yup, email's fine. Please send your section (as a WAV file if possible) to headfirstonly at gmail dot com

  • @sapient  Feb 2022

    Oh, cool!
    You can reach me at abomnium at gmail dot com
    Looking forward to if :D

  • @pvk2020 Feb 2022

    Thanks for listening.

  • @dragondreams  Feb 2022

    Hi Nate. :-)
    I have fresh body parts for you. ;-)
    Corpse Delta baton passed over to you.

    Have fun. :-)

  • @thedutchwidows  Feb 2022

    Corpse received - thanks!

  • @jeustan  Feb 2022

    Perfect Dark was perfection.

  • @nadine Feb 2022

    You always surprise me! These falsetto vocals on the corpse and these sounds. Awesome!

  • @sorby69  Feb 2022

    @nateger Thanks! I love your piece too! Your voice reminds me of my good friend Joseph Cave (ex Babytwin) - I had to check you weren't him! LOL

  • @sorby69  Feb 2022

    @nateger - our Exquisite Corpse is ready & published :)

    Well done for your part - it was fun & playful. I couldn't resist making the obvious follow-on piece in response to your "miaow miaow miaow" ending :)
