Nathan Hubbards solo music is an amalgam of his work as an improviser, composer and instrument builder. Using acoustic and amplified instruments and a wide range of electronics, Hubbard creates a soundworld of multiple layers, where the music changes definitions of form, shape and outcome. This music has been presented in a wide variety of contexts, from concert halls and festivals to freeway underpasses and desolate mountain roads, and is documented on the recordings Born On Tuesday (2004, Circumvention Music) and Blind Orchid (2007, Accretions Records). In addition, Hubbard has released several EPs focusing on homemade instruments and electronic processors.
Beyond his solo work, Hubbard collaborates with guitarist Noah Phillips, percussionist Curtis Glatter (Glatter/Hubbard) and electronic musician Nate Atwood (The Builders Association of Encinitas), the trio ARC Trio and the quartet Cosmologic, as well as leading his own quintet (Nathan Hubbard/Everything After) and the large ensemble Nathan Hubbard Skeleton Key Orchestra. Hubbard is a member of the Trummerflora Collective.
