Nathan Barr Heads to Sundance, Has New Soundtrack

True Blood composer Nathan Barr is closing out the year with some exciting developments. It’s just been announced that he’ll be part of a panel of composers and directors at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, discussing the art of film and television music composition. In addition to Nate, participants include composers Nathan Barr, Jaynee Carpenter, George S. Clinton, Peter Golub, iZler, Nathan Larson, Vivek Maddala, Gingger Shankar, Alex Wurman, and Festival film directors Matthew Chapman (The Ledge), Maryam Keshavarz (Circumstance), Andrew Okpeaha MacLean (On the Ice), Kurt Norton (These Amazing Shadows), Jesse Peretz (My Idiot Brother), George Ratliff (Salvation Boulevard), Jill Sprecher (The Convincer), and Yoav Potash (Crime After Crime). The panel will be held Wednesday, January 26 at 11AM and is open to the public as space allows.

In addition, Nate’s soundtrack to Hood To Coast is now available on iTunes. Hood To Coast is a movie about four teams who compete in the world’s largest relay race. The film captures the love, dedication, and insanity of the every day runner as well as the excitement, pain, and humor of the unprepared first timer. Their stories are reminders that no matter who you are, you can push yourself beyond where you thought your limits were.
