Nathaniel Scott

A native Kentuckian, Nathaniel has always loved music and movies, and was raised amidst the best of both. He has 5+ years of university theory, harmony and counterpoint, 12+ years of formal piano training, and a little experience conducting small ensembles. Nathaniel works with high-end instrument sampling technology to realize his scores. While not yet having had the opportunity to record with an orchestra, Nathaniel is able to closely approximate the sound of just about any type of ensemble he chooses.
