Nathan Johnson

Welcome to my daily blog.
This is where I post things I'm currently working on and thinking about. I write songs, score films, produce bands, and make visual art and photographs.
I lead a sprawling band/art collective called The Cinematic Underground and run a small independent record label called Cut Narrative. I also do design work at The Made Shop with my siblings Marke, Kim, and Zachary.

We’re stuck in the SF airport, but Chris Jacobs just came walking off a plane in a white hard hat, so that was nice. 

He’s been in Vegas touristing a concrete convention, thus the chapeau. Turns out he was late for his next flight, so we merely got a “hello” and a hug before he disappeared into the night. 

And you wonder why they call him ChrisJacobsIsAwesome.

All hands were on deck yesterday, we got so much done and had great fun in the doing. The foundations of a fantastic community hub are already being laid.

Can’t wait to see what Andy & Anna turn this into!

Here’s a great link to see documentation of our Cinematic Underground US tour. Looking at these makes me want to get back on the road again…
