I tune the room with 15–20 minute presence-and-music openers that bring people together, so the experience you’ve prepared can fully land.

At countless conferences and events, beautifully prepared content is delivered to audiences who aren’t ready to receive it, because they’re not yet truly present and engaged.
My role is to gently warm up and tune the room at the beginning of events — in 15–20 minutes of simple presence exercises and music, the whole group comes together — so they’re able to more deeply engage with each other and all that’s been prepared for them.
Gatherings of people.

Three minutes for program directors and event planners — what I do, and why rooms that start present stay present.
The problem
If an orchestra doesn’t tune before playing, no matter how well-prepared, the result is noise.
Over nearly three decades presenting at conferences and events, I’ve watched rooms full of people still vibrating at the frequency of everyday noise — email, travel, deadlines — when the program begins.
I tune the room so the experience you’ve prepared can fully land. Received, not just attended.
What I bring
Music with simple, tangible, approachable presence practices. Leadership, communities, and entire organizations.
15–30 minutes
I combine original music with a few minutes of simple explorations that help people settle in, slow down, breathe, and open to everything the experience has for them — whether your event is an hour, a day, or a week.

My daughter Olivia was deemed “incompatible with life”… and she taught me how to live. Full keynotes weave her story and live original music with breath — something the whole room can tangibly experience together.

About Nathan
For 27 years I’ve helped rooms full of people be present, together. Not as a performance to impress, but as a shared practice that clears the static so real work, learning, and healing can land.
I also write A Voice in the Noise — on Substack. More on the about page, albums & books, and concerts.
