Birth/Rebirth by Nathan Edwards

Birth/Rebirth is a new music project that explores themes of human connection.

I began creating these ambient works In anticipation of our son’s birth. We were excited to meet him, discover what he would look like, and watch his personality develop. It was also a time of anxiousness: We hoped that the process would go smoothly, that the baby would be healthy, and that we could navigate the massive shift he would bring to our lives. This exercise served as an expression of birth - the new life of my son, and rebirth - the gift of experiencing life through observing his experience.

The sounds feel nearby but just out of reach. They are beautiful, yet foggy and undefined. Sweet, yet mysterious. They are simple, yet hint at so much happening just beneath the surface. Since these works were created while our son was in utero, the process became a meditation on loving someone that I had not yet met, and also more broadly exploring and sharing themes of human connection.

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Nathan Edwards performs and composes music from folk to experimental - Songs of life, love, hopes and dreams.
