about

Braddock's guitar ensemble compositions explore traditions of process music. The core pieces are inspired by change ringing, an English church bell music ("A False Course" and "33 Changes"), and this theme of bells and bell music permeates all the tracks. Other works use the process of serialism or the structure of Javanese gamelan music. Several works are microtonal. Nathaniel Braddock also records fingerstyle guitar and African music with Trio Mokili and the Occidental Brothers Dance Band Int'l among others.
