Nathan's Composition Projects

I'm not normal like regular guys. Regular guys would spend all their time playing video games or watching football. For me, I'm the kind of nerd that likes to listen to instrumental music, (not the regular Disney vocal songs that everyone knows) and try to imitate the background soundtrack scores on the piano. To me, this is fun, and this is my favorite way to spend free time. I hope that this comes very close to the real thing. Its hard to include each instrument and have the same impact as a symphony orchestra. I am really not a fan of Disney piano books. I think it is good to be basic so that beginners can learn, but I believe that simple ornamentations and embellishments can still be included and make it a better sound and experience. Because I've never been satisfied with any Disney sheet music, I decided to be a nerd and create my own arrangements with no help from anyone or any books. Just my ipod. Hope you enjoy it! Score writing is my passion and I would love to write music for some animated Disey movie someday! These are all on my youtube channel at: www.youtube.com/bbradfordp

How Nathan views his year

This is a just a quick and very sloppy version of how I view the whole year. And yes! Each month glows...

AE Photoshoot 2013

For this photoshoot I wanted to go out into places that looked on the ghetto rough side. Alleys, graffiti, crumbled stone etc. I think that the photos turned out well... Photos by AE Photography https://www.facebook.com/pages/AE-Photography/207516379358872?ref=br_tf

10 Things About me

This month everyone on facebook is putting 10 things about them. I'll put 10 facts about me, and then 10 things that I'm grateful for since its Thanksgiving season.
1. Some of my childhood activities involved going down the stairs head first inside a sleeping bag with my siblings.
2. I am indifferent to sports and video games. Just dont do much with them.
3. Sometimes I cry when listening to Disney music.
4. The Wicked Witch of the West was my favorite person when I was a toddler.
5. I enjoy writing and arranging instrumental music on the piano.
6. I've met the youtube sensation Miranda Sings / Colleen Ballinger.
7. My favorite candle is Root Beer Float by Salt City.
8. As a kid, one of the movies that scared me to tears was Pinocchio.
9. I was left behind at a hotel during a school trip to Seattle, Oregon.
10. I view all the months of the year in my mind as a flat, large, counterclockwise circle lit up in the black darkness.

I'm grateful for...
1. Ultimately for God, and for the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation, and Atonement.
2. Living in Perry with wonderful people and examples, and memories. (Including my family)
3. Disney Animated films, and inspiring music.
4. Inspiration, enlightenment, insight, and wisdom.
5. Delight, hope, excitement, and joy.
6. So many wonderful fruits, vegetables and juices. (Good Health)
7. Walmart and Ebay
8. Swings that still exist at the parks.
9. Warm weather.
10.The help and guidance I've received from others throughout my life.

What's up with all the remakes?...

I personally believe that the original actors did such a good job that remakes are unnecessary.Who could argue that Julie Andrews was insufficient for the role of Maria Von Trap? Or that Lucille Ball failed in her days during I Love Lucy? I believe in updating the the originals to meet with the modern technology. Re-releasing them over and over for new generations to see. (For example, DVD, or Blu-ray) But usually the remakes are always 2nd place because you cant beat the originals. Sound of Music premiers December 5th, Maleficent comes this summer, and the rest have already been done.
