I have a new solo tape called "Fiddle" available for pre-order from Personal Archives. "Fiddle" consists of 11 improvisations for acoustic violin. All of the material is free improvised, aside from the opening track, which was improvised under the self-imposed constraint, "improvise a fiddle tune." You can currently preview three tracks from the tape at the Bandcamp link below. The tape was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Ryan Wasoba and designed by yours truly. You can pre-order a copy here.

I made the artwork for the new Dane Rousay tape, "Divide," on Already Dead Tapes & Records. Dane is an exceptional percussionist and improviser and "Divide" is a great document of their solo playing. "Divide" drops on April 20th and is currently up for pre-order on Already Dead's Bandcamp page. Highly recommended.

Back in November, I participated in a large ensemble performance of an hour-long composition by John Wiese, presented by New Music Circle. Foveal Media created an excellent document of the rehearsal, dress rehearsal, and performance.

Imagine your mind stretched like G, D, A, and E strings along the neck of a violin, tuned to a tensile uncomfortableness that causes the neck to creak under the strain. Imagine a bow, horsehair cranked to within an inch of its breaking point, shredding atop the strings, the sounds looping, condensing, combining, throbbing in anguish. Imagine the tuning pegs laboring under the pressure of the performance, gripping the strings with every ounce of effort in their manufactured forms

Great write-up by Ryan Masteller of my solo violin album “Ache” over at Tiny Mix Tapes - check it out!
