Nathan Peter Larson is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter, and author. He came to prominence in the 1990s as the guitarist for the rock group Shudder to Think. He has since worked on many film score compositions. He is married to Nina Persson, the lead singer of the Swedish rock band The Cardigans, and the couple has collaborated on several musical projects.

Larson is responsible for arranging 12-hour experimental music concert events, and is one of the founders of the LUMEN PROJECT.[1]

In May 2011, Larson's debut novel, The Dewey Decimal System, was published by Akashic Books.[2] The second book in the series was published summer 2012, and is entitled The Nervous System. The third and final installment in this series, The Immune System, was published in 2015.

Music career[edit]

Maryland-born Larson was the lead guitarist for the 1990s band Shudder to Think, and the original bassist for the hardcore punk band Swiz.[3] Larson was also the creative force behind the group Mind Science of the Mind, and founder of the band Hot One.[4][5]

Larson and his wife Nina Persson have also been frequent musical collaborators, Persson providing vocals on several of Larson's film soundtracks, and Larson being a member of Persson's A Camp project and of the band on her solo album Animal Heart. Larson is also credited as co-writer of several songs on The Cardigans' 2005 album (and last to date), Super Extra Gravity.[6]

He has produced albums for The Ark, Angela McCluskey's THE THINGS WE DO (Manhattan / Blue Note), among other work.

Larson is one of the co-founders of the Subchamber Ensmble,[7] an experimental chamber music group.

In 2017, he was a co-founder of the international nonprofit LUMEN PROJECT,[8] which creates 6-24 hour audio and visual experiences.

In addition to his work with "drone music" concerts, Larson is also a prolific film composer and has contributed to over 60 scores,[9][10][11] as well as music for such series as HBO's VINYL and Show Me a Hero.
