The Feel of 100% Live Music

The Feel of 100% Live Music

How It's Made: A Short Summary

What I love most about this musical medium — live cello plus studio recorded accompaniments I create — is that it lets me shape a world of subtle sound for each song.

Some layers are from physical instruments (bass, guitars, percussion, mandolin, cellos, and violin). Some are “virtual” instruments such as pianos and orchestras (as heard in movie scores) — finessed to sound beautiful while expressively serving the song.

My performances are visceral, dynamic, and respectful of the audience. 

Thanks for reading. Let's get you back to what you were looking at, shall we?
