What better way to show my love for Awesome People Doing Amazing Things than to share it with the rest
of the world. So every now and again, when I find myself left in awe of someone’s
absolute brilliance, I will feature them in a Spotlight On post. This
first post goes out to dear friend whom I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for
over 10 years.
Nat Evans is currently in the middle of a 2,600 mile musical
journey.
The Tortoise and the Raincoat: Music for a Very Long Walk, is
a 2,600 mile journey from Mexico to Canada along the Pacific Crest Trail. Nat will
be writing new work while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, collaborating with 8
West Coast composers along the way, and releasing all these new works in 2015
on Quakebasket Records.
Nat writes concert music for various mixed chamber
ensembles, distinctive electro-acoustic music, and site-specific music events
that fuse nature, community and subjectivity of experience. His Sunset
Music project has been featured in previous Summer in the City posts. And after
an amazingly successful fundraising effort through Hatchfund,
Nat finds himself living the dream on the Pacific Trail.
