From the technical to the creative, Nathaniel's cutting edge approach to surround sound elevates this format. George Massenburg stated at the recent Grammy Surround Music Alliance Tour, "The Crystal Method's 5.1 single mixed by Nathaniel Kunkel is the best representation of what surround sound should sound like.â€Nathaniel’s mix work has garnered him industry acclaim and awards, including Grammy awards for his work with Lyle Lovett, B.B. King, The Trio (Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton), and comedian Robin Williams; Surround Music Awards for his work with Graham Nash, James Taylor and Insane Clown Posse; and an Emmy for his recent work with Sting. Multi-platinum producer Michael Beinhorn said this about working with Nathaniel, “Of all the engineers I've worked with in over 20 years of producing records, Nathaniel is one of the very few who possess virtually every significant attribute one can hope for under that job description. Aside from his obvious engineering and technical skills, Nate is unflappable in a recording studio and (wonder of wonders!) possesses a pair of very astute, accurate and musical ears. There is another thing about Nate that sets him even further apart from his peers; the innate ability to embrace new ways of doing things and a constant desire to develop his craft. In times such as these, Nate's work and talents stand out vividly. I wish there were more like him.â€Additional information on Nathaniel Kunkel and Studio Without Walls is available at www.studiowithoutwalls.com.
