You had quite a pace going! It doesn't have to be daily, but we enjoy what you share. I'm looking forward to a more sustainable workload next year too.

Good evening, Nostr! 💜

I hope you’re all doing well. I just wanted to post a little update, since I haven’t been posting my regular music content recently.

The last couple weeks have been very busy irl!

I had to finish my violin concerto, which was a ton of work. The premiere performance for that piece, entitled “lost child”, is taking place on November 29th in the evening. Phew!

Between that and my regular concert and teaching schedules sort of ramping up at this time of year, it has just been a very busy stretch!

I hope to start posting my regular videos to Nostr again soon. Hopefully next week!

Thanks for your understanding and thank you to @Grace and Truth for the little nudge.

Happy holidays to all 🦃🎄

Just thinking it would be cool to hear a violin version of one of Slash's solo pieces from the song Estranged.

This particular day it was the Amélie soundtrack so classical crossover, I guess. I also often go for Ludovico Einaudi.

I absolutely love the Yann Tiersen soundtrack to Amélie and that movie in general! If you like that you might enjoy the piano music of Erik Satie like the “Gymnopedies” and the piano music of Claude Debussy like “Children’s Corner”. Let me know what you think if you listen to it! You could also check out my orchestra piece (that I composed) on Wavlake: https://wavlake.com/track/30e79eb3-9fc5-4ee3-9c90-98e51ac6be78

Good evening, Nostr ⭐️

In case you missed it earlier, here’s a viola improv alongside one of my favourite orchestral works: Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloe Suite No. 2.

What does it remind you of?

Good morning, Nostr 🌅

Still on viola today in preparation before my recording gig tomorrow. This morning I was listening to Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé, Suite No. 2, one of my favorite orchestral works. In the opening, “Lever du Jour” (“Daybreak”), Ravel paints the sunrise so beautifully, with everything slowly waking up, light spreading. I couldn’t resist improvising a viola line over it, just for fun.

Hope you enjoy this little morning sunrise duet with Ravel 😊

Good evening, Nostr 🌙

In case you missed it earlier… I’m back on viola this week, warming up for a recording session on Saturday. This morning I shared a little improv inspired by Bach’s C major cello suite, same key (in minor), but a totally different vibe.

Hope you enjoy if you haven’t seen it yet!

Good morning, Nostr ☀️

Hope you’re having a great day.
This week I’m on viola duty, getting my chops back in shape for a recording session on Saturday.

This morning I started with a little Bach, the Prelude from the C major Cello Suite, just as a warm-up. Then I drifted into some improvising in C minor, but still carrying that Bach energy with me. I recorded a little bit of that improv session and you’ll hear those Bach inspired descending scales and flowing lines, but filtered through my own semi-fiddly, semi-jazzy style on viola.

It’s funny…. when I listened back, I realized it sounds nothing like Bach, and yet I can feel his influence everywhere in it! Somehow it’s all connected on a subconscious level.

Hope you enjoy, and have a great day.
