Contemporary composer and pianist Nathan Shubert (they/them), originally from Canada and now based in Berlin, writes music that merges felted piano, minimalism, and a quiet, observational sense of intimacy. Their work is shaped by subtle details—creaking wood, pedal noise, soft hammers—and an approach that treats the piano as both a musical and physical landscape.

Their new album Iso (2025), recorded with an eleven-microphone setup on their home upright piano, captures every nuance of the instrument to reveal an unvarnished portrait of presence, vulnerability, and emotional clarity. Iso follows their acclaimed third album The Moon From Here (2022), which completed a trilogy exploring loss, quiet transformation, and the search for stability during years of upheaval.

Now rooted in Berlin’s modern classical community, Shubert continues to perform across Europe, bringing a deeply personal, sensory-aware approach to contemporary piano music.
