Composer Conversation-BRIAN RAPHAEL NABORS with Bill Doggett, a Black Composer Marketing Rep 8/23/20

Rallywith Tim Hagen
Take a listen to the wonderful interview I had with my friend and colleague, brilliant flutist and composer, Tim Hagen on his new podcast, Rally: a podcast about resilient people, for resilient people. I was honored to be a guest on his first episode. We talk musical beginnings, the many influences of my music, vision for creating community, and the role resilience has played in my life. I also participate in his "60 Creative Seconds" segment in which I read one of my Quarantine poems entitled "Luminance," accompanied by Tim's flute improvisation. You can subscribe to Rally anywhere you get your podcasts.

How I Found & Am Developing My Compositional "Voice" + Encouragement for Anyone Still

BRIAN RAPHAEL NABORS
...Inspired To Inspire
My work is about self reflection. I seek to bring my listeners face to face with humanity and life's mysteries. It's about crafting an experience that will draw the listener inward to contemplate life and nature on a more intimate level.
As a composer, I'm on a constant search for new ways to connect us through stories that allow us to see our world and one another. Music is the most powerful tool we have to change everything...
