Hi folks, I'm Nathan Larson. Generally I consider myself a musician and composer, but I've taken time out to write a couple novels. Unbelievably, at least to me, the things got published, and I couldn't be more pleased. I'll check in here from time to time: meanwhile, here's more info on me, in the second person....cheers! : As a former lead guitarist for the influential American art-punk band SHUDDER TO THINK, New York-based composer Nathan Larson continues to create highly acclaimed and challenging work. His bands' early scores for October Film's HIGH ART and FIRST LOVE LAST RITES (on which Nathan wrote and/or produced tracks featuring such artists as Billy Corgan, Jeff Buckley, and THE THE's Matt Johnson ) earned rave reviews, as did his songwriting for Todd Haynes' VELVET GOLDMINE. Nathan's score for 20th Century Fox's BOYS DON'T CRY established him as a film-scoring force on his own. Since then Larson has created scores for many more controversial and critically-acclaimed films; among them are Todd Solondz's STORYTELLING, PALINDROMES, Joel Schumacher's TIGERLAND and PHONE BOOTH, PROZAC NATION starring Christina Ricci and Jessica Lange, Lukas Moodyson's LILJA 4-EVER, and Stephen Frears's DIRTY PRETTY THINGS. Other past projects include A LOVE SONG FOR BOBBY LONG with John Travolta and Scarlett Johannson , and THE WOODSMAN (starring Kevin Bacon, and produced by the MONSTER's BALL team) , for which he was awarded the Gras Savoye Award at Cannes 2004, and LITTLE FISH, starring Cate Blanchett, for which he was nominated for several awards, including an Australian Academy Award. Also: THE MESSENGER, starring Woody Harrelson and Samantha Morton, OUR IDIOT BROTHER with Paul Rudd, MARGIN CALL, and most recently Sundance '14 favorites THE SKELETON TWINS (Kristen Wiig) and GODS POCKET (Philip Seymour Hoffman). THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM and THE NERVOUS SYSTEM are books 1 and 2 in a series, and the third and final installment is expected out in late 2014. Larson lives in Harlem, NYC with his wife, Swedish pop singer Nina Persson (best known as the lead singer of THE CARDIGANS), and their son Nils.
