Richard Nathaniel is a composer and performer, he has always viewed the turntable as more than just a tool for playing records—it is an instrument, a conduit for creative expression. For years, he has been immersed in the world of music, crafting sounds and experiences that transcend the boundaries of genre and convention. His most recent compositions have been improvised experimental performances that explore reflective topics or shared contexts through collaboration. Constantly exposed to new ways of thinking and creating through turntablism, he is encouraged to step out of his comfort zone and take risks, whether by incorporating unconventional sounds into his compositions or experimenting with Butch Morris’s Conduction lexicon in his performance techniques.
