Nathan Sherman's debut solo album, The Gentle Erasure of Time, released February 2025 on the Métier label, is a collection of new commissions for solo viola and electronics. The record is a vivid tapestry of sound, a flow between the ghostly and mesmeric, to the intense and cinematic. The works by Nicole Lizée, Karin Rehnqvist, Jonathan Nangle, Linda Buckley, Benjamin Broening and Sam Perkin reflect on perspectives of motion, memory and beauty. Each work is a unique world of sound, focusing on the vibrant dialogue between the acoustic instrument and the electronic element.
