Here it is. “The Soundtrack”. I wrote this song for my baby boy just before he was born and I wanted him to have this for the rest of his life. It took a year to go from concept to reality. This was a collaboration on an unprecedented scale for me and it is with immense gratitude that I want to thank @e.f.j.fagan , @emmamazzaschi and the incredible musicians of @new_classics_sinfonia as well as @jamesryancullen who arranged the song in such a beautiful way. I also need to express my thanks to the unmatched @robert_charles____ - your conducting style brought such joy to this song and to the shoot. @lochanamedia brought his incredible talent to capture these images and mentor me along the way. We hope you enjoy this piece of art that we have poured ourselves into. #orchestra #singersongwriters #musician #nathanimboden #newclassicssinfonia #auckland

Here’s the trailer for my new original song featuring the incredible talent of @new_classics_sinfonia and @jamesryancullen and shot at Auckland Museum in New Zealand. This project has been in development for one year and I couldn’t be prouder to share with you a bit of what has been going on behind the scenes. We are beyond excited to bring this piece of art to life in two weeks.
