for Shelley Hirsch
Hi Shelley, I made you a webpage:
As an introduction to my music this is the first album Bandcamp picked as 'New and Notable' in 2021:
The second track, '61', was picked independently by Dave Weinstein and Michael Schell for their radio programs.
I have had 4 albums in the same number of years picked by Bandcamp: 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 which will come out June 10!
This is a scratch track of the rehearsal for the first track of my last show, the one at Outpost Artists Resources. When I play the song live I imagine a conversation between the different sound elements I am generating with my homemade machine. It would be augmented by improvisational voice responses.
Here are 4 excerpts I put together to give you an idea of what I think would be interesting to explore:
My tracks are dense because I am trying to do the work of an entire band. Alongside another musician I would have more space between the sounds.
This is a video for an upcoming movie soundtrack in Brasil which was very popular on social media and gives you another example of 'possessed' movement:
