Elliot Cole & Nathan Schram’s Signals Offers Synth-Driven Soundscape with Live Viola Touch

Signals by Elliot Cole and Nathan Schram opens with shimmering synth arpeggios, gradually building an atmospheric foundation. As rhythmic elements emerge in the background, the track pulses forward with a steady energy, with the drums coming to life and pushing the piece ahead. The evolving synths shift between shorter phrases and longer, more expansive notes, adding a layer of depth as the composition progresses.

In the later stages, live viola, performed by Nathan Schram, enters the mix, introducing a warm, organic texture that adds a sense of development and dynamism. This touch lifts the track towards its conclusion, creating a seamless blend of electronic and live instrumental performance.

Created with Moog synthesizers and featuring Schram’s viola, Signals embodies a subtle, almost otherworldly dance transmission. Elliot Cole’s work spans a broad spectrum of music, from collaborations with GRAMMY-winning ensembles to his involvement in creating immersive music experiences like Flowerpot Music.
