Performing and Meditations
I perform at concert halls, nightclubs, art museums and galleries, colleges and schools, hospitals and health clinics, at religious gathering places, for government organizations, in recording and broadcast studios, in parks and nature areas, and for meditation and yoga classes. I am working towards a weekly meditation practice and am always looking for new venues to explore. I am especially open to site-specific performances and sonic environments and prefer to operate outside of formal settings and venues.
Teaching and Workshops
I am developing an ongoing monthly workshop series coving a range of topics in music and art, founded on the principle of integrating all aspects of life into a practice, and am continually searching for new spaces to host them. For independent adult students I offer a unique approach to learning music that includes styles from the whole world and have a deep understanding of music from the first written to that of the present day. My approach is centered around the piano as a symbol of the relationship between harmony and the cycles of the sun, earth, and moon, integrating styles from the east and the west.
Composing and Producing
Please familiarize yourself with the playlists and my music, and if it speaks to you, we could work together on a project. My studio is centered around a hybrid digital/analog Neve workstation. Contact me for a full list of instruments, microphones, and recording equipment. Hopefully we can find exactly what you need for your project. I am available to record live shows, mix and edit sessions, master stereo recordings, and can do light tracking in my studio. Mixing can be done in analog without plugins.
For composers, I can transcribe your music for recording sessions and publishing. I am available to arrange music and perform on your recordings, especially on piano and keyboards, Mellotron, electronics, and select world music instruments. I play a Kawai GM10 grand piano. I will compose original scores and produce music for your film or video if it is agreeable to my aesthetic and ethical values.
Design and Art Projects
I have a good deal of experience designing and preparing books and two dimensional artwork for printing, especially for record covers, tapes, and other forms of merchandise. I also do some limited online visual content production. Again, please familiarize yourself with my work, and if it speaks to you, get in touch.
I have done extensive research on the relationship between music and the visual, the integration of senses, the perception and localization of sound, meditation and altered states, and the geometry of spheres as it relates to musical pitches and colors. I would like to build domes and other sound and light installations for the realization of these projects. Please contact me about similar projects. Hopefully we can share developments and work towards their realizations.
