Live at Natchie
Playing my 'Summer's Spell' for cello and loops. Live last Friday at Natchie in Brooklyn, New York.
Back on the West Coast to make music, it's great to also take a moment to see the beauty and the surf. #Malibu #surfingla #surflife #cellosurfer
Elegy for David Bowie
Dedicated to the Orlando victims and their families.
I was planning to release my Elegy for David Bowie today, which I feared would be too late, but I see that the timing is actually just fine.This sad week of the massacre in Orlando is a good time to celebrate Bowie, to be consoled by his bravery. Nobody did more to open the pathways to sexual and gender freedom than David. The recording was mixed by Mark Plati, Bowie's longtime co-producer, music director and friend.
David was a messenger from another realm. The Man Who Fell to Earth wasn't just a movie role. He came from another planet, another space and time in which Freedom is just another part of life. Where being a sexually diverse being is normal and why wouldn't everyone appreciate that? He shared that vision with a planet just beginning to rotate into sexual freedom- when Space Oddity hit the airwaves in 1969, mainstream America was just figuring out that you don't have to be married to have intercourse.

Here's my song, One Family, for Martin Luther King and the Dream. May it keep you hopeful. The Dream is more alive and more relevant than ever. The next step is up to us. Celebrate MLK Day 2016! Please watch and share.
We found this baby grand orphaned at the Grand St Ferry in Williamsburg. Poor thing needs some TLC. Great filming by @ioanana. Think the weekenders were a bit freaked by my improv but I only had a few keys to choose from!! #williamsburgviews #orphanpiano #brooklynbeauty
Love playing the beautiful Falcon theater in Marlboro NY. Last night we premiered Fabian Almazan's new work for octet. Superbad. #falcontheatre #fabianalmazan #marlborony #cello #stringfever

#Imslp and travel #cello=perfection! It's amazing to me that I can be in a tropical village and download the Bach Suites for free via IMSLP. My travel cello sounds a bit baroque too. Today I'm practicing this lovely Allemande from Suite 3 in C. All after a morning surf session. Woah. #cellorock #bach #bachsuites #sayulita #nayarit #lalancha #travielo #mexico
Stop Slow Down
Stop Slow Down is a song about reducing your fear, slowing up and remembering who you are on the deepest level. I'm sharing it directly here on my FB bandpage now. The beautiful video was made by JB Michael. If you like the song, please pass it along and share. I'll send a free copy of the album to the first ten people who do!
Probably one of the best musical experiences I've ever had on a subway car. And that's saying a lot! He said he came from outer space.... Does anyone know who this dude is?
Circling the Center
Behind the Scenes video of Into Center, an original composition for Nene Humphrey's 'Circling the Center' touring project, combining the mysteries of grieving ritual and brain science.
Had an awesome time recording Dave Burnett's drums for my upcoming album, Play Human. Dave plays the bleep out of my music and makes me feel alive. Here he is doing just that on the title track. Enjoy.
Megan Weeder Gould on violin and Karen Waltuch on viola make this song off my upcoming album come to life. Don't you think?
Summer's Spell
My composition, Summer's Spell, performed live this Spring in NYC. This piece is composed in real time by creating layers of cello with a loop sampler pedal. Once the foundation is laid, I improvise over the cello ensemble. David Shenton chimes in on piano......
