TED Talk with Pedal Steel

Post by Nate Hofer »

Recently I was super-honored and lucky to speak at a TEDx event here in Kansas City where I also played pedal steel.

Sorta hard to explain quickly. Drone photos, pedal steel, poetry, nuclear missile silos:

Wow, Nate, incredibly creative fusing of intellectual inquiry and meditation, and ambient steel.

Very entertaining Nate! I'll bet it sounded awesome live in that venue. Looked like you were running in stereo? Nice job with the E-bow, along with the whole presentation.

Didn’t mean to post twice.

I got back on this forum and my first post came up as if I had not posted it. I posted it twice without knowing it was already there. Which I thought I had already posted it. My mistake.
